Suits and middle managers are waiting for revelations of a new management structure in BBC News. After the departure of DDG Mark Byford, and the closure of his "Journalism Board", there have been a number of loose ends to tie up - and a one-year period of review as Director of News Helen Boaden contemplates the best way to manage News, English Regions, news in the "Nations", World Service and Monitoring.
One small element seems to have been sorted. Richard Addy, former Chief Adviser to the DDG, has re-emerged as Special Adviser to the Director of News (Audience Strategy). Helen has four other advisors on her books, at salaries between £85k and £105k. And she has the services of Richard Dawkins, as a Controller of Strategy shared with Audio & Music.
Will the full new structure ease out into daylight this week - or is the unveiling to come to managers and staff shoulder to shoulder at staff DQF briefings next week ?
