The cutbacks in BBC staff

"So let's look at the world as it really is. The cuts in jobs are not a brave step into the 21st century of the "multi-platformed digital age" and not a worked-out business plan for a slimmer, fitter BBC. They are not designed to improve quality or to innovate. They are simply a way of saving £2bn - so please don't try presenting them as a rational strategy"

The Guardian article argues that cutbacks of the BBC staff was not a carefully considered action and rejects the idea of it saving 2 billion. This extra money, the BBC claim will be used to create documentaries and programmes of a much higher standard that ever before, -but whether this is justified or not still remains a debateable issue.
