The 'Mission to Explain' is a philosophy of broadcasting journalist developed by John Birt and Peter Jay in the 1970s. The concept developed from a series of articles appearing in The Times in 1975 and 1976 when John Birt was head of Current Affairs at London Weekend Television and Peter Jay was an influential columnist at The Times where he promoted the neoliberal ideas he had encountered in the United States.
