The 2012 DG Stakes are, unofficially, up and running. The Economist last weekend offered three contenders - Helen Boaden, George Entwistle and Caroline Thomson. So we'll keep an eye out for favourable mentions wherever they occur...
Helen can be found here welcoming the next generation of BBC journalists. Danny Cohen, Controller BBC1, who got tipped in Haaretz on Christmas Eve, has a feature about his exciting year available for reprint from the BBC Media Centre. Danny says "I hope you find plenty to enjoy on BBC One in the coming months. Our aim is to deliver something for everyone - and to make the good popular, and the popular good".
Ring any bells ? Try this from the BBC Media Centre in November: 'The second and most distinctive reason to see BBC drama investment as uniquely important comes – unimprovably – from the great Huw Wheldon, who is famous, among other things, for defining the role of the BBC as "to make the good popular and the popular good"'. It's an extract from a speech by Danny's boss, George Entwistle, who at least attributes the aphorism.
