THE British media must engage in more open debate about the monarchy and stop “insulting” audiences by dodging republicanism, a politics lecturer and journalist has said.
Ash Sarkar, who has lectured in political theory at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, has slated the BBC for seeming “scared” to platform anti-monarchy views and called on them to engage in a “grown-up debate” about whether the royal family is good for the UK.
The Novara Media senior editor added she believes the media should adopt republican royal correspondents as she criticised how coverage of the monarchy was “uniformly dictated by people who believe in the institution”.
