What next for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ after the Bashir scandal?

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's entire governance is called into question.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is facing intense scrutiny. Last week’s Dyson Report revealed multiple lies and deception by Martin Bashir - to secure his famous interview with Diana, Princess of Wales in 1995. Now, questions are being asked about the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s entire governance. So what could actually be done? Are we about to see fundamental change at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ? And will this scandal bring about a reckoning for the whole industry?
