Jews at BBC Jerusalem Bureau

In Britain, it was reported that two Jewish journalists have joined the BBC's Jerusalem bureau staff.

"As the debate rages on over BBC bias in its Israel coverage, two Jewish journalists were this week appointed to join the corporation's reporting team in Jerusalem," Totally Jewish said.

"Tim Franks will take up the role of a Middle East correspondent while Katya Adler will leave her current posting in Madrid to become a Middle East reporter. A BBC spokesman told the Jewish News: 'Both are extremely experienced and talented correspondents who will continue the excellent work that is synonymous with the bureau.' He added: 'I also think it opportune to note that the recent Independent Panel set up by the BBC Board of Governors found no deliberate or systematic bias in the BBC's coverage of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.'"
