Twitter will change its name from "government-funded media" to "publicly funded media" The move follows criticism of the company's use of the term in the past. The move is a response to the BBC's decision to use the term to refer to its own news service, BBC Radio 5 Live.
The BBC says it will continue to work with Twitter to improve its coverage of the news in the UK and the rest of the world. The social media giant says the change is necessary to ensure the future of the service.
