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 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)
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
