Criticism
BBC Radio Cornwall has been criticised for its lack of Cornish accents amongst its presenters. This is in contrast to the rest of the UK where local accents are featured prominently in local radio.
Radio Cornwall has also been criticised for seeming to overuse the word "county" to describe Cornwall. Some people take the view that Cornwall is not a County of England and that the BBC should refer to Cornwall as a Duchy instead. It is claimed that many do not listen to Radio Cornwall because they find it offensive.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
