James Harding, BBC Director of News and Current Affairs, is in contemplative mood. As he packs his Osprey Momentum 22 rucksack for a trip to California to find The Future of News, he idly muses "What one thing would make News Group a better place to work?”
"Top question, Jimmy", says an internal communications specialist about to apply for their own job, "Let's add it to the staff survey..."
In the spirit of Family Fortunes, here's my stab at the top answers...
1: Improved catering on night shifts (network)
2: Any catering at all (local radio)
3: More bike racks (network)
4: Bike racks (local radio)
5: Transparency about the relationship between an editor's salary and their audience figures
6: Please stop Newsgathering making me write "exclusive" in intros when no other news organisation is remotely interested in the story
7: Can I have a contract like John Simpson's ?
8: On winter nights, do correspondents really have to do live introductions to pieces when you can't see the buildings behind them ?
9: Can I have an office like yours ?
10: Can we have fewer surveys ?
