## Summary

The BBC has paid former Storyville commissioning editor Lucie Kon £400,000 after she said she experienced antisemitism at the broadcaster following the 7 October attacks. The payment is described as the BBC’s first of its kind over antisemitism claims, although an internal investigation did not uphold her complaint.

Kon said she was told that Zionists like her were “evil” and felt she had become a problem for speaking openly about being Jewish and Zionist. She left the BBC last year after several years in the role and was an executive producer on Oscar-winning documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin; the BBC said it investigates concerns under its policies and does not tolerate antisemitism.
