Breaking the Fourth Wall

Our new report takes on another live wire of British public life: the BBC. Audiences still believe in the idea of an independent public service broadcaster. But, they’re losing faith in how the BBC is funded, governed and present in their everyday lives. Breaking the Fourth Wall listens to the public and sets out a plan to rebuild trust, modernise the licence fee and put the BBC back at the heart of Britain’s creative future. Read the report to understand the political risks and how to protect the BBC as a world‑leading asset for the whole country.
