Tim Davie has resigned as the BBC Director General. Alongside him, the corporation’s News Chief, Deborah Turness, has also stepped down amid a scandal involving edited footage of Donald Trump.
The BBC announced on Sunday evening that both executives would be vacating their roles, a development that is expected to send shockwaves through the UK media industry.
According to Deadline, the resignations of Davie and Turness were their own decisions. They were not dismissed by Samir Shah, the corporation’s chairman.
