Cool

So BBC News is totally looking for a new Head of Internal Communications.

Presumably the successful candidate will help in the composition of slightly more sensitive staff emails from the top. There's work to do on job adds, too. The main blurb uses "effective" four times, and the full spec nine times.

It also has some heritage bombast. "Under the leadership of Director of News, James Harding, the News Group makes up more than a third of the BBC with over 8,500 staff around the UK and the world serving a huge variety of audiences."  Big numbers like this irritate newspapers around the country, as they battle the Beeb in new media. They also irritate tv staff, who just know they are more important. The maths may even be exaggerated. BBC public service headcount in the last annual report was put at 16,672, full time equivalent.
