What do we know about Fiona Campbell, new Current Affairs boss at BBC News ?  Educated at the Dominican College, Fortwilliam, Belfast (later attended by Katie Melua), she studied economics at Jesus College, Cambridge, and then spent two years at the Bologna Center of John Hopkins University, in their department of Advanced International Studies (is there any other sort ?).

Detail from 1994 to 2004 is sketchy - a researcher and producer for BBC Current Affairs. She then becomes a commissioning editor for Channel 4, and moves back to the BBC as an executive producer for indies in 2009.

Recent tv work that had Campbell involvement - Young Voters' Question Time with Richard Bacon; Free Speech with Jake Humphrey; other credits include The Future of Food, The Batman Shootings, Tulisa: The Price of Fame, Britain's Gay Footballers and Is Oral Sex Safe?

She lives in a cobbled street in Stepney, and, according to her Twitter feed, has dined and sung with Alan Rusbridger, and explained vajazzle to him.
