Bishop of Lincoln highlights recent finding of high level of trust in BBC News

On 24th June 2021, the Bishop of Lincoln asked a question during a debate on efforts related to transparency at the BBC:

The Lord Bishop of Lincoln: My Lords, does the Minister agree that the success of global Britain requires support and celebration of those things that the rest of the world most values in the UK, which provide soft power and promote bonds of affection and trust? Will she then congratulate BBC News on the finding in the most recent Reuters Institute Digital News Report that it is among the most trusted news brands in the United States, Canada, India and South Africa? In most cases, it is more trusted than domestic news providers.

Baroness Barran (Con): I am delighted to echo the right reverend Prelate’s congratulations to BBC News on that recognition.
