BBC Director-General Tim Davie has resigned, saying the broadcaster “made some mistakes that have cost us” but urged staff to “fight for our journalism.” In an emotional all-staff call, Davie said he was proud of the BBC’s work and believed it would “get through difficult times.” He cited three reasons for stepping down — the job’s relentless pressure, the upcoming BBC Charter renewal, and accountability for an editorial breach. Davie thanked employees for their support and said the BBC must keep delivering strong journalism despite criticism. “We are the best of what society should be,” he said. (PC: Reuters)
