## Resource

The BBC’s Today programme is facing a major shake-up as correspondents are now being pushed to prioritize TikTok and Instagram over traditional radio and TV, sparking fears it could erode the show’s depth and immediacy. With younger audiences shifting to digital platforms, the BBC aims to adapt—but insiders worry this could dilute the program’s legacy, potentially forcing reliance on non-BBC spokespeople. Despite concerns, BBC leadership insists the flagship show remains vital, promising quality reporting and access to top journalists, even as it restructures to meet budget demands and changing habits.
