Of the 1,900 job cuts, about 20 percent would be from editorial, 20 percent from the printing plants and the remainder from other parts of the business, Mr. Hywood said.
He said there would be no editorial job losses in the coming year, but that more efficiencies would need to be found after that, with the BBC facing across-the-board cuts of 16% after the flat licence fee settlement with the government in 2010.
He said: "If the presenter of Law in Action had such an injunction and didn't make it clear that that was the case and was conducting interviews and discussions about the very subject then clearly there would be an editorial issue with conflict of interest.
And he declined a manuscript by William Appleman Williams, the father of New Left diplomatic history, writing to him that "fundamentally your book would be an editorial in hard covers, and it is difficult almost to the point of impossible to persuade readers to pay money for the privilege of reading" such works.
But if I had to pick one thing, it would be our editorial point of view.
Of the 1,900 job cuts, about 20percentt would be from editorial, 20percentt from the printing plants in Sydney and Melbourne and the remainder from other parts of the business, Hywood said.
As an appropriately described piece of work, it would be an editorial decision as to whether the results merit publication in this journal.
That being so, a difference in acceptance rates for negative and positive studies would be evidence of editorial bias, and the fact that such a difference is not found is reassuring.
In effect it would be handing over editorial control to local authorities".
There were no guarantees that the festival's 19 foreign and 2 American selections would be great, the editorial warned.
