The chief executive of Welsh-language public broadcaster S4C has been sacked following an investigation into claims of bullying within the organisation. The S4C Authority said it had dismissed Sian Doyle following an external ”fact-finding” exercise into the ”working environment” at the broadcaster. Ms Doyle criticised the decision in a statement confirming her sacking and accused the authority of an ”unprecedented lack of governance for a public body”.
