It is a government-led review, supported by an expert panel that incorporates a broad range of views from across the sector, providing advice and external challenge on the issues set out in the review’s Terms of Reference, which are available on gov.uk..</p><p>The Panel does not have any decision making powers, and is one aspect of the Government’s BBC Funding Model Review.</p><p>The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport appointed Panel members based on their expertise across relevant sectors, including television, radio, news and international relations. The experts were selected in consultation with industry stakeholders based on their experience and knowledge of wide ranging issues at the heart of the UK media sector such as the role of Public Service Broadcasters, press sustainability and content for children and young adults. Panel membership is voluntary. The Expert Panel has no legal status and was therefore not set up under the Cabinet Office guidelines for public appointments.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 18/04/2024 11:08:06 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
