The chair of the BBC, Rona Fairhead, is to step down after Theresa May indicated that she would have to reapply for the job that she had been appointed to by David Cameron just four months ago.
In a statement to the Financial Times, Fairhead said that after “much thought” she had concluded it was appropriate not to re-enter the appointment process.
Her decision follows a difficult year for the broadcaster, with Fairhead facing criticism from within the corporation for failing to effectively stand up for it during this year’s white paper negotiations.
