Matt Brittin Takes the Reins at the BBC. The Agenda Waiting for Him Is Brutal
The former YouTube executive faces a broadcaster navigating licence-fee freezes, streaming competition, and a political class grown indifferent to the institution's existential logic.

This publication covered the BBC leadership transition with reference to the Guardian's panel of advice letters to the incoming director-general.
