Speaking about his appointment, Guru-Murphy said: To have credibility with our audiences in our coverage of climate change and the transition to net zero it is vital that we in the news industry also change our ways and play our part. I'm delighted to be chairing the albert news consortium to help drive that change.
Michelle Whitehead, albert project lead added: The challenges faced by the broadcast news community are quite unique, not least because news producers have to react with a moment's notice to breaking news and have to broadcast from all over the world. We wanted to create a separate group that could discuss the challenges they face and work on tailored solutions that can help them achieve net-zero carbon emissions. We're thrilled to have Krishnan Guru-Murthy on board to help lead our group. His industry knowledge combined with our sustainability focus will no doubt lead to a very successful partnership.
