Director of BBC News Helen Boaden has pointed to crime coverage as a likely subject of funding and job cuts.
The corporation is making thousands of redundancies and news specifically needs to save £155 million over the next five years.
Boaden explained where some of the cuts could be made: "We are talking about deploying fewer stories.
"For instance, I think there’s some middle-ranking crime stories we could do without or think harder about the way we do them."
A corporation spokesman commented: "The BBC will be focusing on the big, important stories that matter to all people. If major crime stories continue to feature in the news agenda, we'll duly report them."
