As new BBC News boss James Harding assembles his top team, the staff are anticipating some more structured thought from him, at least before Christmas...if only the all-points email saying "if you're having time off, please enjoy it".
His next planned public appearance is the inaugural W T Stead Lecture, on January 13th at the British Library (prop ex-BBC exec Roly Keating - the man who gave back). Slightly alarmingly, the lecture series is in memory of pioneering hack William Thomas Stead - perhaps the most famous English passenger to die on the Titanic. William edited The Northern Echo at the age of 22, then moved to London and the Pall Mall Gazette, a pre-cursor of The Evening Standard. There he ran campaigns against slums, child prostitution and for a stronger navy.
