The BBC is set to revamp its main editorial standards committee after facing backlash over its handling of edits to former United States President Donald Trump's speech on January 6, 2021. An internal review found that BBC executives failed to respond promptly when misleading edits were discovered, which appeared to show Trump inciting supporters to storm the Capitol. This controversy resulted in a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the broadcaster. As part of the overhaul, chairman Samir Shah will step down from leading the committee, and the group will receive a clearer mandate to ensure a more transparent and effective editorial process.
