Tim Davie offers ‘full, unconditional apology’ to Matt Wiessler, designer who raised concerns with BBC bosses
The BBC’s director general, Tim Davie, has suggested the corporation may have to pay compensation to a whistleblower who was blacklisted after raising concerns about Martin Bashir’s conduct on Panorama in 1995.
Matt Wiessler, a graphic designer, was asked by Bashir to mock up the fake invoices that helped secure an introduction to Princess Diana’s brother, which paved the way for an interview with the royal. After Wiessler raised ethical concerns with BBC bosses he found himself cut out of working for the corporation.
