SocietyBBC seeks to reassure Jewish staff after former producer alleges antisemitism

BBC deputy director general Rhodri Talfan Davies met representatives of the broadcaster’s Jewish staff network after former producer Lucie Kon said she experienced antisemitism while working there. The BBC said its internal process did not uphold her claims but acknowledged shortcomings and their personal impact. Davies said an independent inquiry was unnecessary and denied evidence of systemic discrimination.
