New York Times chief Mark Thompson leaves sex abuse scandal at BBC

(2012)
> Incoming NYT boss says he had no knowledge of allegations that one of Britain's biggest stars was a serial abuser of children

> The BBC, where Thompson was director general until last month, is in the middle of a growing scandal involving a TV host who was once one of its highest-profile stars. But this tangle is not over a badly turned phrase or some other on-air mishap – it is about accusations that, for a period of decades, Britain's national broadcaster turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse of young children perpetrated on its premises.

Speaking with many of the story’s key players, including BBC producers, the erroneously accused Lord McAlpine, and current New York Times C.E.O. Mark Thompson, Orth examines the consequences of “Auntie Beeb’s” finger-pointing at everyone—and at no one.
