The BBC press office has issued a statement:-


"BBC’s response to Telegraph article of 21 May 2014, which The Telegraph didn't print in full.

“We're pleased that so many people enjoy working at the BBC and note that we scored 3.5 out of 5, compared to the Telegraph Media Group's 2.7 out of 5.""



The 'offending' article, that apparently ruffled so many hackles, was from a "Press Gazette" item involving anonymous interviews of the staff of various news organisations.

"In all, 24 out of 133 people reviewing the BBC awarded it 5 stars, with ten of those criticising bureacracy or management. Some 43 rated it with 4 stars, 42 gave it three stars, 17 rated it at two stars and seven gave it the lowest rating, one star.

Elsewhere on the Glassdoor website, Channel 4 scored an average of 4.6 stars (from seven reviews), Sky 3.2 (from 162 reviews), ITV 3.1 (from 18 reviews) and ITN three (from three reviews).

Press Gazette has so far researched BBC in the most depth because it is the biggest media organisation in the UK, employing 8,000 editorial staff in BBC News alone."
