What skills does the British Broadcasting Corporation look for in its employees? Some netizens from home and abroad have summed it up as follows.

The ability to create topics, but following the principle of having the conclusion first and looking for evidence to prove it later; the ability to use a low camera stand and shake the camera to make the footage look like from a candid camera reflecting the truth; applying post-editing techniques that use voice-over to misinterpret interviewees, and using dark color filter and background music to create the special effects of the netherworld.
