society

Public service media has never before had to prove its value within and for society, particularly with an increasingly changing media landscape as well as evolving types of society.

Crossing Divides is an ambitious season.  Throughout the BBC in 2019 we are exploring the power and possibilities of encountering people with conflicting opinions, across divisions of race, class, faith, politics and generation.
