BBC presenter: BBC and The Sun face questions as fallout from Huw Edwards story continues

Media, centred on the BBC and The Sun, has become the story after torrid week of shifting narratives that led to the public naming of Huw Edwards

It has been a complex, fast-moving story that has raised wide-ranging questions about trust, ethics, and public interest journalism, while also betraying the tensions between Britain’s foremost public service broadcaster and one of the country’s most powerful private media proprietors.

But at the end of a tumultuous week dominated by an ugly and frenzied social media guessing game and questions of who knew what, and when, what exactly has been gained? The reputations of two major news organisations have been dragged through the mud, careers have been potentially ruined, and families have been left shattered.
