BBC to examine its Middle-East coverage

I wish the CBC would do the same.

Details of a review into the BBC's coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have been published by the broadcaster's board of governors.

The review, announced in May, will look at BBC impartiality "with particular regard to accuracy, fairness, context, balance and bias, actual or perceived".

President of the British Board of Film Classification Sir Quentin Thomas will chair the five-person review panel.

It will start work this month and report to the governors in Spring 2006.

The board will then publish the panel's findings in full.
