Another talk in the Media Mondays series, which saw Val Atkinson, BBC Scotland’s Head of News and Current Affairs, discuss the reaction of the Jimmy Saville scandal. Her input was combined with the views of Raymond Snoddy, a Journalist and media commentator, who spoke via Skype. Discussion topics included not just the way the BBC handled the news of Jimmy Saville’s death, but also where the future lies, both with regards to the specific case, and to the BBC itself.
