BBC sorry over handling of Huw Edwards complaint

The BBC has issued an apology over its handling of a complaint made against news presenter Huw Edwards. The complaint, which was lodged by a viewer who felt Edwards had displayed bias in his reporting, was initially dismissed by the broadcaster.

However, after reviewing the incident and conducting an internal investigation, the BBC has now acknowledged that it did not handle the complaint appropriately. In a statement released today, the BBC stated, “We apologize for our handling of this matter and are committed to ensuring that all viewer complaints are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly in the future.”

Edwards himself has also issued a statement expressing his regret over the incident. “I strive to be fair and impartial in my reporting, and it was never my intention to appear biased,” he said. “I apologize to anyone who may have been offended by my conduct.”

The BBC has not disclosed what specific actions will be taken in response to this incident, but has stated that it will be implementing changes to its complaints procedure to ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.
