emily bell, what would you say to that? a kind of special case when it comes to the monarchy for the corporation and are there different expectations for the national broadcaster? i'm100% with marcus on there is no... the idea that there is a time where you don't confront the uncomfortable as a journalist, i find that a very difficult concept. i think that marcus�*s point was made in an excellent article as well. when you start excluding those voices and communities, they go elsewhere. and often, the places they end up going, because they trust them more, because they see a version of themselves which is more accurately reflected, don't necessarily have the journalistic values as the bbc at other times. but i have some sympathy. i think the bbc�*s been under tremendous political pressure and it's had a very difficult relationship with the royal family. so, i think that this imperative to tow the line must have felt like the kind of... i think actually the bbc and the monarchy are lashed together in mutual existential anxiet

emily bell, you are nodding. how- are represented. emily bell, you are nodding.voices that were quite adamant. but a lot of them were very engaged with the debates around empire and exploitation and slavery and the role the crown played. into an environment which felt, i think, if you are covering a different country— north korea or russia — that kind of coverage of the head of state's demise, you would cover it very differently. so, it was quite a shot, even for somebody british. i do think two things can be true at the same time. i think the bbc could've done magnificently superb technical job. i think hugh afterwards said —— huw edwards said she should have been given a medal. you can also sayjournalism went on holiday. for a full night, and my feeling is marcus is right. i think something else interesting happened, which is take the queue. the queue was largely a media event. the length of the queue, the concentration of the queue, i'm fairly sure would've been different if it had not been covered in the way it was by the media outlets. i covered in the way i

tina, a little bit earlier, emily bell talked about a dearth ofjournalism.u think this did stop being treated as a news story and became a national event that broadcasters in the media had long planned for? yeah, i guess that's true, it felt like it was coverage of a massive event, the kind of which we just haven't seen before. and i do think that there is always that danger of the way in which the queen was spoken of as if she was canonised in some way, where this was somebody who was portrayed as somebody who was almost nonhuman. but i think that wasn't. .. i don't think that was a widespread problem. but i take what marcus was saying about if there were people trying to ascribe to her majesty responsibility for all sorts of international events in the past that was disproportionate in terms of her contribution, if that wasn't challenged, that's a bit odd. but again, i just think overall, i think we have to see this as an event and recognise this is what it was in the coverage, the extent of it and the positive nature of that coverage was, for me, i think
