Rachel Jupp has been appointed as the new director of BBC News, about a year after former director Deborah Turness left her post following controversy over the way the Panorama program edited a speech by US President Donald Trump.

Jupp has a long career in journalism. She was deputy editor of BBC Two's Newsnight and later hosted Panorama, although she left the position several years before the episode that sparked the Trump controversy aired.

In a statement after her appointment, Jupp said she was "honoured" to be entrusted with the leadership of BBC News. She said she aims to protect the BBC's independent and impartial journalism, strengthen public trust and be closer to audiences in Britain and around the world.

BBC Director General Matt Brittin described Jupp as a highly experienced editorial leader, praising her professional judgement, impartiality and high standards.

Jupp joined Channel 4 News in 2005 and moved to the BBC in 2013, where she became deputy editor of Newsnight. In 2016, she took over as editor of Panorama, a role she held for four years. Most recently, she has led the BBC’s editorial work on generative artificial intelligence, based in the US.

Her appointment comes at a difficult time for the BBC, which is implementing a major reduction plan. About 550 jobs have been announced in the news division to be cut, while across the BBC between 1,800 and 2,000 jobs are expected to be eliminated. The measures are intended to help the corporation save around 500 million pounds over two years.

Jupp will be responsible for around 4,500 staff and will sit on the BBC's executive committee. She will receive an annual salary of £400,000.

Jonathan Munro, who has been temporarily heading the news division for the past 11 months, will return to his post as deputy director of BBC News.

Deborah Turness resigned after a scandal surrounding an episode of “Panorama” in which a speech by Trump from 2021 was edited by combining two different parts. The BBC admitted that the edit had created the wrong impression that Trump had made a direct call for violent action.

Trump then filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC. The corporation apologized for the way it edited the material but rejected the claim for damages. The case is expected to go to trial in the US in 2027.

The then-BBC director-general, Tim Davie, also resigned after the scandal and was later replaced by Matt Brittin.
