A BBC boss who quit after the controversial Gaza documentary has been rewarded with an OBE in the New Year Honours List.
Charlotte Moore was chief content officer at the BBC from 2020 up until earlier this year, when she quit to join Sony Pictures Television.
The controversial documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, was broadcast in February, while Ms Moore held her senior position at the broadcaster.
The BBC received backlash after it was revealed that it had been narrated by the son of a Hamas leader.
Ofcom described the programme's failure to disclose information on the narrator's father as "materially misleading".
"It meant that the audience did not have critical information which may have been highly relevant to their assessment of the narrator and the information he provided," a statement read at the time.
Despite this, Ms Moore has been recognised for services to public service broadcasting.
The BBC apologised after acknowledging "serious flaws" in the making of Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone and removed it as an available option online.

Ms Moore, along with then-Director-General Tim Davie and former BBC News chief Deborah Turness, both of whom resigned following the scandal, felt the brunt of the criticism.
Some 45 prominent Jewish journalists and members of the media wrote to the trio, demanding explanations as to why the broadcaster had not investigated the narrator's background.
Ms Moore stepped away from her £475,000-a-year role earlier this year to join Sony in a move that the BBC insisted was unrelated to the documentary controversy.

"I want to accept it on behalf of all the talented colleagues and creatives I worked with during my time at the BBC and across the independent production sector," Ms Moore said when accepting the award.
But she does not remain the sole controversial character to receive recognition in the New Year Honours List.
John Robins, chief constable of West Yorkshire Police, received a knighthood for his services to policing.
He has been accused of being "obsessed with race" after he reportedly ensured an ethnic minority candidate, who failed the interview process, was hired.
He also said he wanted discrimination against white candidates to be legal.
The Director-General of the National Trust, Hilary McGrady, was also awarded a CBE for services to heritage.
She has faced backlash and accused of politicising the organisation by asking staff to wear rainbow colours for Pride month.
She is said to have ordered a "woke" audit of its properties' links to the slave trade, listing Winston Churchill's former home because he was a former colonial secretary.
