BBC Trust slams website's weak management
Nicholas Carlson · 05/29/08 02:40PMThink dealing with ADD-addled venture capitalists is bad? In the U.K., the operators of BBC.co.uk have to answer to something called the BBC Trust, charged with making sure BBC media "provides high quality output and good value for all U.K. citizens." The Trust's latest review says BBC.co.uk's "not sufficiently strong" management overspent its 2007 - 2008 budget by 48 percent, or $70.5 million. "This lack of financial accountability is not acceptable," reads the report, which also decrees BBC.co.uk's management has to be out by December. The Trust says the site needs more linking out, better search, better navigation and more caution with its investments. The report does not address our need for Little Britain torrents.
