BBC Charter Review: The Alternative Green Paper
Tuesday 3 March 2026 5.00pm to 6.30pm
Online event
The BBC Charter Review is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the British public to debate and decide the BBC’s future. Yet the government’s consultation has been rushed, based on a Green Paper that is overly-complex and features concerning ideas for changing how the BBC is funded, how it is governed, and how it secures its independence from government. The ‘Alternative Green Paper’ is a collaborative project to put the public back at the centre of BBC Charter review, by collecting a wider range of ideas about reforming the BBC. At this launch event, we introduce contributions from audience groups, campaign organisations and media experts, and discuss how the crucial debates on the future of the BBC can be expanded beyond the limited options presented by the Government.
