Bakhurst 1 Jordan 0

The Guardian says that the BBC has conceded to Ofcom's demand to publish numbers of complaints about programmes on a fortnightly basis. This resolves a stand off between David Jordan, the BBC's editorial policy boss (Latymer and Bristol) and Ofcom Witchfinder Kevin Bakhurst (Harberdashers' Aske's and St John's Cambridge) which has been going on since February.

This may or may not clear the air before a possible meeting between Lord Hall and Kevin. If Kevin has applied to be the new Director of BBC News, he's more or less guaranteed an interview. Internally, I hear 'selling' of positions in Newsgathering boss Jonathan Munro. More as we get it...
