Media complaints

Media complaints

The BBC is funded through public money and enjoys a semi-monopoly on broadcast news coverage. Once its online content is included, the broadcast regulator Ofcom estimates that the BBC enjoys 70% of the UK share of viewing of national and international news.

As such, it has a unique responsibility, enshrined in the BBC Charter, to provide news that is balanced, fair and accurate. In the case of its coverage of Palestine and Israel, this is not the case. Audiences are constantly presented with the Israeli perspective on events, while being kept in the dark about Israel’s atrocities committed against the Palestinians. 
Unbalanced reporting from a public broadcaster must be challenged. Well-informed public opinion is vital to the Palestinian cause, and the BBC plays a major role in forming public opinion. 
In the ‘Further information and resources’ section below, you will find information on how to complain to the BBC about reports which lack accuracy and/or impartiality.
