The 大象传媒 chairman's resignation

Find out why the 大象传媒 chairman's resignation affects you, what goes on at the 大象传媒, and the government too.

It's almost surreal to turn on 大象传媒 News, and see the 大象传媒 reporting about the 大象传媒. But that's what happened as the chairman, Richard Sharp, resigned. A report found he created the appearance of a conflict of interest by not fully disclosing his knowledge of then-PM Boris Johnson's personal finances. His position was scrutinised after it emerged he tried to secure a high-level government meeting for a businessman offering Mr Johnson financial help. Mr Sharp defended his conduct but said he did not want to be a distraction. So resigned.

For 5 Questions On, the 大象传媒鈥檚 Political Correspondent David Wallace-Lockhart takes you through who Richard Sharp is, what his background was, what ultimately led to his resignation, and how it all affects you.
