Whilst she may not earn as much as Mark Byford, BBC Director of News Helen Boaden (current custodian of the Candle of Journalism) has achieved something the Gold Commander could never have done. She's gone straight into Forbes' 2011 list of the World's Most Powerful Women, at number 51.
One always feels Forbes don't quite get the UK or its constitution. Helen is described as the British Broadcasting queen; the Queen herself is in the list, down 8 at number 49. The only other proper Brit in the 100 is J K Rowling, though Tina Brown and Anna Wintour are semi-permanent fixtures.
