EXCL: BBC journalists told to use ‘savings’ instead of ‘cuts’ in news

BBC journalists have been instructed by senior editorial staff to use ‘savings’ instead of ‘cuts’ in their news coverage, Liberal Conspiracy has learnt, in order to offer a “rosy” picture of government announcements.

The move has drawn outrage from journalists and led to heated editorial meetings and arguments. It is also likely to attract accusations of bias towards the Conservative-led coalition.

In particular, BBC London journalists have been told by senior management that they should use ‘savings’ as much as possible for on-screen graphics and the big plasma (the screen which sits behind the presenter).

Staff were told by senior management that ‘cuts’ made the news coverage appear too negative. New editorial guidelines have not been issued to staff by email, only to senior editors by BBC executives.

A source told us: “People in the newsroom are angry about it and several producers and correspondents have challenged the [BBC London] editors about it.”

Staff from other parts of the corporation, when contacted by this blog, painted a more mixed picture. Some said they had heard nothing about it, while others said that there had been editorial discussions on whether using ‘cuts’ was biased against the government.

There are definite concerns that the BBC is bowing to pressure from the government over its news output.

Another source told us: “This is just a ludicrous example of bureaucracy and the goverment throwing its weight [on the BBC].”

Two separate journalists confirmed that the editorial decision at BBC London had been challenged several times this week in evening meetings. Journalists from the political unit had also raised objections yesterday morning.

“It’s very frustrating for the journalists who feel [that] the true picture isn’t being told and we’re being told paint a rosy picture,” a source told Liberal Conspiracy.

We’re waiting on the BBC press office for a comment.

Update: a BBC spokesperson has sent us this terse comment:

We are reporting impartially on reductions in council and government spending and no instructions have been issued about terminology to be used in our coverage.

…which is flatly contradicted by people working at BBC London.

Update 2: The NUJ have sent us a statement from general-secretary Jeremy Dear:

Government attempts to influence the language journalists use should be strongly resisted. NUJ members want to do their job at the BBC without political interference. Any attempts to mask the reality of the situation will be challenged by our members.

We will continue to dig into this story. If you spot examples of BBC broadcasts using ‘savings’ instead of ‘cuts’ when they are clearly not, please get in touch.

1. Steve Connor

So! The BBC is now going to be a spin doctor for the Government?

Don’t be surprised if rebellious presenters use finger quotes each time the say the word “savings”.

2. Alison Charlton

I guess it depends on whether you see it as a purely monetary exercise (savings) or are looking at the impacts (cuts). There can’t be any doubt that services are being cut, not saved. If BBC agree, then it is not talking about people’s experiences but purely about the government’s view – who are they serving?

3. Claire

If this is true then it is incredibly unnerving, especially coming hard on the heels of the story that BBC journalists have been told not to use the term ‘reform’ for the proposed changes to the voting system (on the uncertain grounds that ‘reform’ suggests improvement).

Newspeak impositions like these ought not to be made. Or if they are then they ought to be made consistently across every issue and every turn of phrase — an enormous task whose weight of censorship would discredit the ambition.

Do you remember when news reports stopped talking about terrorists “claiming” responsibility and spoke instead of their “admitting” responsibility for atrocities. Obviously a move generated by our extreme distaste for what they did, but one that completely and brazenly distorted the truth, since the terrorists were making free and self-approving declarations.

It least that linguistic attempt to marginalise terrorists was aimed at sets of people whose status as “outsider” status we might make a good case for. Now the same strategy of manipulating thought by manipulating language is being applied well inside the tent.

I hope that BBC journalists have the strength to resist this.

4. Claire

In fact, the word “savings” carries very much more baggage than “cuts”, doesn’t it? The latter means a reduction, and the former carries very strong connotations of prudent squirreling. It suggests some pile of money somewhere that has been generated by the spending reductions and is therefore available for other projects — which is arguably rather simplistic since it entails a zero-sum game, a fixed amount of resources, rather than (say) a variable amount that might be increased by well-directed public expenditure.

5. blanco

They’ve stopped using the term “electoral reform”, instead preferring “a switch in the electoral system” or “electoral switch”. Doesn’t this kind of ham-fist your theory that the BBC are an organ of the Tory party?

6. Claire

blanco, of course this sort of pressure on the BBC is not confined to the Tory party. It was notoriously a mode of operation of the Labour govt, and spin doctors in all parties presumably try it on. To be resisted in every case, naturally.

7. Ben C

@Claire

On the contrary, I very much think that “savings” implies spending reductions *without* losing services, i.e. efficiency savings, reduction in waste, etc. That would be unarguably commendable, but what is of course happening is the cutting of spending by widespread cutting of services.

8. blanco

Claire, all news reporting will contain an element of bias. As long as they’re equally biased against everyone, it’s not as big an issue as if it was just biased in favour of one party i.e. like the Daily Mirror or the Guardian.

9. Claire

You are right, Ben, that “savings” also carries that connotation — i.e. of reducting spending without affecting services. I don’t think it is a contrary point to mine though: both forms of baggage are present in the term, so it is strikingly less neutral than “cuts”.

The term “cuts” is dramatic and brutal-sounding, I suppose. It brings to mind a wound. BUT, it has been used for decades to refer to spendig reductions by all parties in government. Was it Callaghan who criticised Thatcher by saying something like “We cut the fat and now you are cutting the flesh [or muscle or bones or some such]“? In that declaration the term “cut” is used both for approved and for disapproved reductions — suggesting its neutrality.

10. Cylux

@5 Aren’t the Tories against electoral reform/electoral switch though? The Tories would be most pleased by the BBC no longer using the more positive phrase of electoral reform, I would have thought.

11. cjcjc

BBC London but not the BBC overall?

Perhaps they should use “cuts/savings” !

12. blanco

@Cylux That’s the point. The BBC is equally biased against both right and left, which means it’s as close to neutral as can be.

13. The Grim Reaper

Methinks the real reason for the Beeb doing this is because they want to avoid their journalists from accidentally uttering “Jeremy Hunt” during news broadcasts.

Or a word to that effect, anyway.

14. Tom

Blanco, I don’t quite get your point. Because the BBC is using language that’s kinder to the Tory viewpoint for AV, and also kinder to the Tory viewpoint for cuts, that’s somehow balanced?

15. Tom

Actually, for what it’s worth, I have some agreement with the BBC over the word ‘reform’ – not just for AV, but for everything else as well (‘NHS reform’, ‘welfare reform’, etc). It does have a mild positive connotation. But if they’re going to ban it for that reason in one context, they need to be consistent.

Swapping ‘savings’ for ‘cuts’ is a totally different matter though. As Claire and Ben say, these aren’t just savings: they are, for the most part, unambiguously cuts. I suppose some back-office job losses and other ‘efficiencies’ could be described as savings (if you believe the assumption that it won’t affect front-line services, which I don’t), but it’s clear anyway that that isn’t going to be where the bulk of the money is coming from. And certainly departments are having their budgets cut: they’re not being told “go off and try to spend as little as you can of your current budget, so we make savings”; they’re being told “here’s your lot, if you need more, tough”.

16. Mark Dolby

Money is saved… services are cut. Simple!

17. Black Guardian

Are jobs no longer cut, then, but ‘saved’? Oh, hang on, that can’t be right…

18. Ellie Mae

Interestingly, last week it emerged that Cameron calls the BBC, ‘the British Broadcasting Cuts Corporation’ out of frustration at their coverage of the cuts.

19. Mark Robertson

This isn’t an “exclusive” — I read / heard about this somewhere late last year!

20. Chris

So Cameron makes a joke about the “Cuts Corporation” and they react like this?
Grow a bloody backbone BBC…
They want to inteperet people losing their jobs as “savings”?! It’s an insult and a deceit.

21. scandalousbill

It seems that Craig Oliver is not without clout. It is beyond credulity that senior management cannot understand the definite slant this “euphemism” places upon new coverage. What’s next, BBC management mandates the next “Songs of Praise” program to be dedicated to Cameron and Osborne?

22. lewis

“…equally biased against everyone”

A contradiction in terms, surely?

23. DisgustedOfTunbridgeWells

A contradiction in terms, surely?

It’s a paradigm that soft lefties cling to in order to convince themselves the bbc isn’t waaaaaaaaaay to the right and hasn’t been for quite some time.

“Oh they piss off both sides, they must be doing something right.”

The notion that the other side might lie about being pissed off in order to contribute to the ‘middle class white people are the true victims’ hegemony never really occurs to them.

24. Chris Bartter

Is this not the logical next step from Mark Thompson’s ‘secret’ little visit to Downing Street with the programme plans for reporting the ‘savings’? Yet another reason why he must resign as DG.

25. Watchman

So is there a non-partisan word somewhere between cuts (which is true, but portrays them as a negative thing) and savings (which is also true, but portrays them as a positive thing).

Because otherwise the BBC will be upsetting someone despite the fact that in both cases they are factually accurate…

26. Steve Kelly

The Tory Government knows no bounds to try and dupe people. If the BBC journalists accept this then their credibility will be seriously challenged.

27. Richard W

A neutral description would be cyclical consolidation of the government total managed expenditure. Does not exactly trip off the tongue like cuts or savings.

28. Watchman

Richard,

I’m not sure its neutral – it still focuses on expenditure, not spending, and is therefore most easily translated as ‘savings’.

Kind of sums up the problem though. In reality the government is trying to save money and to do that it is cutting jobs and services, because those are what the money is spent on. Which makes non-partisan presentation a bit difficult for a reporter (perhaps they should just call them government plans and policies and let talking heads label them cuts and savings).

29. Tom

Watchman: reductions, perhaps?

30. Jim

Watchman @ 25

Surely either word can and will be used fairly when the context allows? If you stop providing a service (or part of the service) like, say ‘meals on wheels’, it is difficult to see that as a ‘saving’, you are clearly cutting the service. If on the other hand, you stop buying food from one supplier and use a cheaper one, then that is a ‘saving’, even if the losing supplier doesn’t see it that way.

To use ‘saving’ when you mean cut is dishonest and will be seen as such by any decent member of the public.

31. Chaise Guevara

@ 1

“Don’t be surprised if rebellious presenters use finger quotes each time the say the word “savings”.”

I can certainly imagine Paxman announcing that the government has managed to make savings of up to 400 jobs etc.

32. dave bones

33. sally

No surprise here. The BBC is now Pravda for the Conservative party. (Has been for some) They bow to every Tory spin doctor.

It is a huge mistake because they are trying to appease people who want to destroy them. All they are doing is alienating the very people who support the BBC. I have long since given up watching Newsnight with it’s right wing bias and constant pandering to the idiot Neo Conservatives.

34. sally

37. @ukcuts

It was only a matter of time really

Where’s our happy-ometer? Could really do with it to map these cu… savings.

38. Ewan

We are reporting impartially on reductions in council and government spending and no instructions have been issued about terminology to be used in our coverage.

eh, why not suggest the word “reductions” like you have in your statement?

39. So Much For Subtlety

The BBC has been refusing to use the word “terrorist” for years now. Preferring the more anodyne “insurgent” or the like.

That seems a bigger problem to me. After all, one man’s cuts is another man’s freedom fighter.

40. Bryan Hemming

The one that always irritates me is ‘new’ fares notices on public transport. We all know ‘new’ fares aren’t going to be ‘cuts’ or ‘savings’.

41. Mr S. Pill

@39

That’s because “terrorist” is a massively loaded term. For example, by definition the anti-Gadaffi forces in Libya are “terrorist”… if you can come up with a definition that is perfectly suitable for use then feel free to tell the BBC (and 1000 politics/language academics) I’m sure they’d be interested…

Also, I’m fairly sure the BBC does use the term “terrorist” occassionally.

42. Richard

” if it was just biased in favour of one party i.e. like the Daily Mirror or the Guardian.”

Oh dear blanco, gave away your bias there by citing only two papers with leanings towards one party.

43. Watchman

S.Pill,

I can’t say I’m certain on this, but to be terrorists wouldn’t the Libyan opposition have to be engaging in actions designed to terrify the population into accepting their political position (at least that would explain the word terrorist)? I’ve seen no evidence of this.

I do sometimes wonder why the BBC uses insurgents to describe people launching indiscriminate bomb attacks – I’m pretty certain all they’ve achieved is made the word insurgent unusable apart from for (domestic) terrorism.

44. Mr S. Pill

@43 Watchman

I can’t say I’m certain on this, but to be terrorists wouldn’t the Libyan opposition have to be engaging in actions designed to terrify the population into accepting their political position (at least that would explain the word terrorist)?

That’s an accurate description of the Libyan government at the present time. Are they terrorists? No, because they are the governing body in a nation-state… So a terrorist needs to be acting outside of the current legal framework of that nation – which the opposition are doing – and using violence to achieve their aims – which they are doing as well. So are they terrorist? You suggest that they are not doing things to “terrify” the population – why not ask a Gadaffi supporter in a rebel stronghold how he feels about that?

Let’s not forget that Mandela was charged and convicted under anti-terrorist laws, either – should the BBC have reported on the ANC’s struggle as being a “terrorist” movement? What of other liberation struggles across the globe? Do they only become terrorist when we (the cuddle liberal west) disagree with their motives and aims?

I do sometimes wonder why the BBC uses insurgents to describe people launching indiscriminate bomb attacks – I’m pretty certain all they’ve achieved is made the word insurgent unusable apart from for (domestic) terrorism.

Because in a country like Afghanistan it’s very difficult to tell who are the bad guys and who are the good guys. Using (nearly) neutral language like “insurgent” to describe a non-state actor involved in violence against the state removes the ambiguity of “terrorist” (as outlined above) and makes it clear who’s who. Why, for example, aren’t the private security contractors from abroad in Iraq called “mercenaries”?
“Insurgent” is an imperfect shorthand but it’s better than “terrorist” from one side or “rebellion/liberationist” on the other.

However: why “improvised explosive devices” aren’t called “bombs” I’ll never fathom….

45. Watchman

S. Pill,

I think the word rebels actually exists in language for a reason – such as the situation in Libya. Terrorists are by definition not groups effectively forming popular armies, however terrifying (or indeed brutal) they are to their opponents.

Insurgents might work better in Afghanistan (I had Iraq on my mind where it doesn’t fit), but things are so complex there that perhaps just Taliban or followers of whoever would work best – if we don’t know who did something, calling them an insurgent is not really accurate either.

As to Mr Mandela, apart from a few (hopefully now extinct) Tory-boy idiots, my father-in-law (incidentally, he is a died in-the-wool Labour-supporting union man) and presumably the then South African government, did anyone really believe he was actually a terrorist. He may have become one – we will never know – but that was an excuse was it not.

And mercenaries should probably be called mercenaries. Although it would then have applied to all the armies involved in Iraq, including the Iraqi army, since they are paid volunteers, as well as the supporters of Al-Qaeda in Iraq (also apparently paid…) and security consultants. The age of non-mercenary armies passed with conscription.

All of which goes to show words can be really useful in confusing everything, and the BBC has not got a hope in hell of making anyone happy. I suggest they just go for broke and replace politicians with ‘lying bastards’; at least it will get a laugh (please note, I don’t actually automatically believe that before someone else with my moral scruples jumps on me…).

46. Mr S. Pill

@45

You make some good points but I think we are slightly off-topic here now… ;)

I’ll end with this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=terrorist < proof that the Beeb does, in fact, use the word "terrorist".

47. So Much For Subtlety

41. Mr S. Pill – “That’s because “terrorist” is a massively loaded term.

So is cuts. Terrorist is actually a perfectly good term for someone who illegally uses violence in order to cow a government or a civilian population. By any sane definition the rebels in Libya are not terrorists. The BBC and anyone else with half a brain knows there is a perfectly reasonable definition of terrorist. It is just that the usual terrorism enablers and justifiers want to muddy the water.

“Also, I’m fairly sure the BBC does use the term “terrorist” occassionally.”

I am sure. They report on the Tea Party from time to time.

48. So Much For Subtlety

45. Watchman – “As to Mr Mandela, apart from a few (hopefully now extinct) Tory-boy idiots, my father-in-law (incidentally, he is a died in-the-wool Labour-supporting union man) and presumably the then South African government, did anyone really believe he was actually a terrorist. He may have become one – we will never know – but that was an excuse was it not.”

Sorry but what the hell? Mandela was tried and convicted of trying to use explosives to blow stuff up. He lead a political party and its associated “armed” wing that blew up cafes, restaurants, cinemas full of civilians. By what sane definition of terrorist was he not a terrorist? You mean it is only terrorism when someone you don’t like does it? Mandela could have stepped away from that terrorism any time he liked. He could have rejected it. Condemned it. Disassociated himself from it. He chose not to. When his wife went too far and beat a boy to death, he very carefully distanced himself from that. But not the M Plan. Which was his plan from the start.

“And mercenaries should probably be called mercenaries. Although it would then have applied to all the armies involved in Iraq, including the Iraqi army, since they are paid volunteers, as well as the supporters of Al-Qaeda in Iraq (also apparently paid…) and security consultants. The age of non-mercenary armies passed with conscription.”

Really? So according to you if someone is not forced to be a soldier, they are by definition mercenaries? All of those people who served Queen and country in uniform were, according to you, mercenaries except those that were dragged, unwillingly, into uniform? Anyone who volunteered to fight Germany before they were made to, as any number of my relatives were, were just mercenaries in your opinion? The Volunteers in Spain? Also mercenaries?

49. Chaise Guevara

@ 47 So Much For Subtlety

“So is cuts.”

Well, not in the same way. “Cuts” can be an objective term – if you provide less funding for day-to-day expenses to a service than you did last year, that’s a cut. Obviously the waters get muddier if you’re talking about “real-terms” cuts (e.g. you give the service the same money, but inflation and the fact that it’s serving more people mean that it needs more money just to maintain last year’s service levels) or if the government reorganises the service or merges it with another. In those more complex cases, the Beeb arguably should avoid saying “cuts”.

“Terrorist is actually a perfectly good term for someone who illegally uses violence in order to cow a government or a civilian population.”

No, that’s too vague. When you say “illegal”, what law are you talking about? International law? The law of the land? Is a legal system maintained by a dictator actually legitimate in any meaningful sense?

I generally think of “terrorism” as involving civilian targets. So if the protesters are fighting the army, they’re rebels, or something like it. If they decided to blow up a civilian organisation seen as loyal to Gaddafi, or kidnapped high-profile civilians and threatened to kill them if their demands are not met, they’d be terrorists. You might disagree – my point is that the word is ambiguous.

“It is just that the usual terrorism enablers and justifiers want to muddy the water.”

Who are you talking about, exactly? “Terrorism enabler” is a pretty big accusation, it’s a bit like saying “accessory to mass murder”.

“I am sure. They report on the Tea Party from time to time”

BBC’s guidelines on using the word “terrorist” are here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/editorialguidelines/page/guidance-reporting-terrorism-full . In a nutshell, it says you can use the word, then provides a pageful of text discouraging you from doing so. Based on this, it seems unlikely that they’ve ever referred to the Tea Party as terrorists. Do you have any evidence to the contrary? Because otherwise it does seem as if you’re making a baseless accusation of anti-right-wing bias (or something similar) on the part of the BBC.
