The BBC itself is in the news at the moment.
Theresa May has snubbed the BBC by giving her first TV interview of the year to Sky News.
It's apparently been a 'convention' that the BBC, in the shape of The Andrew Marr Show, gets the first bite of the prime ministerial cherry every year (so to speak).
But not this year.
The papers quote a government spokesman saying:
