Read this: Labour's Jeremy Corbyn vows to reverse BBC cuts

Summary: Labour leadership frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn has vowed to protect the licence fee and reverse BBC funding cuts in a policy document on the arts. The MP for North Islington said the corporation is “under threat” from the Conservative government and Labour must lead a campaign to keep it strong. “The BBC is a unique asset that defines our country,” Corbyn’s document said. “Government must support a strong, independent and properly funded BBC so it can carry out its duties as a public service broadcaster.” It added that the corporation was “severely wounded” by the 2010 licence fee freeze and a well-funded news operation should remain at the heart of its offering to audiences both in the UK and overseas through the World Service.- www.broadcastnow.co.uk
