The BBC could help solve the "crisis of trust" in British society, which the Director General of the Broadcasting Corporation said in a later speech.

Tim Davie will propose what he said he will allow broadcasters to lead in reversing trust in information and institutions and fighting the division and disconnection between people.

These include expanding fact-checking service BBC verification, taking more steps to offset false information and enhancing its local journalism industry.

According to excerpts from the speech, he expected him to say: "The BBC is ready to play its full role - not to defend the past, but to defend the past, but to help shape the future."

“A future of trusting information enhances democracy, every child has a fair start, creativity provides for growth and social capital, and where no one is left in the digital age.”

Salford's speech will shed light on Mr. David's vision for the future of the company.

The BBC's current royal charter clarifies the terms and purposes of its existence, which expires in 2027 and negotiations with the government for its renewal are intensifying.

He will argue that the BBC could play a key role in making the UK a “global leader in trusted information around the world”, supporting democracy, promoting education and economic growth, and improving digital access.

"The future of our civilized, cohesive, democratic society is the first time in my life in danger," said Mr. David.

“We are facing a crisis without a doubt. It’s a crisis of well documented and debated. The drama of those who feel more alone in a connected world, they don’t feel involved and feel others benefit from a changed world.

“We see people trust in the information they receive and their associated beliefs that those with information are in their interest.”

The BBC said it was the most trusted news provider in the UK, with 45% of the population naming it as their most trusted source in 2024. That's down from 57% a decade ago.

Other proposed measures include the use of AI in educational services for their bites by giving each child an automated “personal learning partner.”

Mr David will also call on the state to shut down traditional broadcast transmissions in the 2030s and ensure a “smooth” transition to the Internet-only plan.

Mr David said the BBC could launch its own devices based on existing online services to target people who have not turned to streaming.

“We want to double freely as a universal free service to provide live TV over broadband.

“And, we want to consider developing and launching streaming devices with built-in capabilities and having a fundamentally simplified user interface specially designed to help people benefit from IP services.”
