Regular readers will be delighted to learn that Ashley Highfield has made it onto another Government advisory panel. The Johnston Press CEO is one of ten members supporting Dame Frances Cairncross in a Matthew Hancock-sponsored review of "press sustainability".
Ashley was an advisor to John Whittingdale during the BBC Charter Review. One of the BBC offers to the Culture Secretary was to fund local reporters covering councils and courts, to be used by local papers. Johnston Press has ended up with 30 under the scheme. When Ashley joined JP, it boasted 4,581 employees - in the last full year it had 2,495. The latest annual report is due in April.
