Right again

Congratulations to Ceri Thomas, today anointed Head of News Programmes at the BBC - representing some of the role vacated by the retiring Stephen Mitchell. Helen Boaden seems to have lead the selection procedure - let's hope Ceri's new boss in the role of Director of News, whoever that may be, likes him as much.

As we predicted, there's now a contest to be the next editor of Today. Jasmin Buttar is likely to continue as Acting Editor; will the opportunity to be the first female Today editor since Jenny Abramsky sway her next move - or will she seek a return to alma mater Newsnight ?
