  • THE BBC and 'EUROPE'
    THE BBC and ‘EUROPE’ Analysis of the BBC Radio 1’s ‘Newsbeat’ 15 April – 23 June 2016 It is generally thought that the BBC was less biased than usual in its coverage of the EU Referendum campaign. But News-watch has now analysed its main news programme for young people, Radio1’s Newsbeat, which reveals strong pro-Remain bias. Its coverage of referendum themes was also extremely narrow, amounting to bias by omission. October 2016 SUMMARY: Newsbeat 15 April – 23 June, 2016 Newsbeat devoted only 10.7% of its available airtime to the referendum, and 83% of this coverage was in the three weeks immediately before June 23. Many issues particularly affecting young voters were ignored. There was a narrow editorial focus on immigration and the economy. Important topics, such as national sovereignty, the ideas behind the EU and how it works, travel and residence in the EU, and the impact on universities were only very briefly mentioned. This was thus major ‘bias by omission’ and an over-simplification of the issues involved. The BBC news programme with the biggest audience of young people between the ages of 18 and 25 did not explore the referendum sufficiently to meet the BBC Public Purposes requirements. Newsbeat audiences were 1.5 times more likely to hear a Remain supporter than a Leave supporter. 238 guest speakers contributed to the various discussions on the referendum. The analysis shows that 45% spoke in favour of Remain, 30% in favour of Leave, with a further 25% giving a neutral, undecided or factual perspective. Of 38 Newsbeat reports with guest speakers, 19 (50%) were in favour of Remain, and only five favoured ‘leave’.
