Video: Rome Hartman - America and the Future of the BBC

Rome Hartman, executive producer of BBC World News America, gave a fascinating insight into his thoughts on the future of the global BBC, the commercial world, and the need, now more than ever, to be forceful and ambitious.

Rome, who is leaving the BBC to set up a new programme on NBC in the US, spoke to Justin Webb, the Todayprogramme presenter and former BBC North America Editor, during a CoJo lunchtime session.

He called for the BBC to be strong, decisive and, above all, realistic about the need to engage with the commercial world in both the US and globally.
