About Nick Reynolds
I work for the BBC. I am currently on attachment (a fancy BBC word for placement) as the editor of the BBC Internet Blog.
I have had an internal BBC blog for a couple of years. On this blog I will post stuff from my internal blog which is OK to be shared with the wider world, and anything else that takes my fancy.
This blog will abide by the BBC’s Guidelines On Employees Personal Weblogs. Which, as I helped write them, is probably a good idea.
Any opinions expressed on this blog by me are my own and not those of my employer (but remember: resistance is useless!).

Enjoyed your blog on bias in the BBC. Some people seem to talk about the BBC as if it was indeed controlled by devious schemeing oligarchy bent on liberal ideological mind control of the masses. If only it was that simple.
The BBC is part of the British ideological state apparatus( as described by Louis Althusser) as such it helps to set the agendas and parameters of what ‘we’ view and how ‘we’ understand and interact with and are interpolated by and produce meaning about ‘our’ culture in the widest sense.
The BBC cannot escape from that role and be some neutral arbiter even it if wanted to.
