Baker

Old BBC hacks will be entertained to note the appointment of Jonathan Baker to the Witchfinders of the Ofcom Content Board.

Jonathan, for many years a stalwart of the BBC Radio Newsroom, will serve under Chair (and former denizen of the BBC Radio Newsroom) Nick Pollard. Jonathan (English literature and History, University of East Anglia) is now founding Professor of Journalism at the University of Essex, and serves as chair of the Science Media Centre. He began his career as a reporter at the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, and left the BBC in 2014.
