UK publishers have condemned the BBC for restricting media companies access to shared footage of the Coronation of King Charles III.

The News Media Association which represents national and local publishers and their websites has made clear its disgust at the BBC’s behaviour in restricting the transmission of the coronation to itself and a couple of other major broadcasters in the UK by imposing huge charges.

In a hard-hitting statement the NMA said on Friday, May 5 that the BBC was denying UK citizens the opportunity to enjoy this event of major public interest and national importance on the platform of their choice.
