How politically impartial are BBC journalists on Twitter?

A new academic study from Aston University has called into question the impartiality of BBC journalists on Twitter.

“Impartiality on Platforms: The Politics of BBC Journalists’ Twitter Networks”, led by Dr Tom Mills, suggests that BBC journalists afford more prominence on Twitter to centre-right leaning politics.

Dr Mills also says it’s “very concerning” that political perspectives outside England “don’t impinge on the BBC’s political centre of gravity.”
