BBC under fire after ‘flat out bad decision’ to make big Newsnight cuts (www.theguardian.com)

Cuts to the BBC’s flagship evening news programme Newsnight have been described as “a bad decision” that reveals a “loss of confidence” at the corporation.

Newsnight staff past and present have reacted with dismay and anger at the axing of half of the programme’s staff by BBC, which will see the programme cut to 30 minutes and its headcount slashed from 57 to 23.

Emily Maitlis, who presented the show until last year, said she was worried that “extraordinary and exceptional journalism” would now be lost, and said the Prince Andrew interview she conducted would not happen under the new format.

the Prince Andrew interview she conducted would not happen under the new format.

That feels like the point of these cuts.
