Up to 2,000 BBC jobs could be lost in the corporation's biggest downsizing for 15 years, with BBC News expected to undergo job losses running into the hundreds. The BBC is undertaking a cost-saving drive designed to save £500m across the corporation, according to the Guardian. The BBC news division is expected to make cost cuts of around 15 per cent, reported by independent.co.uk, while teams across the BBC have been instructed to reduce spending by roughly 10 per cent, according to HindustanTimes. The job cuts are part of the largest round of job reductions at the BBC in almost 15 years, as reported by independent.co.uk. Tim Davie resigned as director-general of the BBC in November, reported by independent.co.uk, following accusations of bias over the editing of a clip of a Donald Trump speech in a Panorama documentary, also reported by independent.co.uk.
