Publisher apologises to author Kate Clanchy four years after book controversy

Publisher Pan Macmillan apologizes to author Kate Clanchy four years after a book controversy involving allegations of racist descriptions. Clanchy's memoir "Some Kids I Taught and What They Taught Me" won critical acclaim but faced backlash, leading to her separation from Picador, an imprint of Pan Macmillan. The apology from Pan Macmillan's CEO, Joanna Prior, acknowledges the hurt caused and reflects on the broader issues of race, class, and free speech within the publishing world, as explored in a new Radio 4 series.
