The Londoner's Diary of The Evening Standard is well-connected when it comes to business journalism; editor Charlotte Edwards and Robert Peston are an item. So it's probably on the money with this...
Kamal Ahmed, the BBC economics editor, is preparing to take over as the corporation’s new editorial director. But is he having trouble letting go?
The Londoner hears that Ahmed has sat in on interviews of potential candidates for his old job, which he leaves on November 2.
Ahmed, who has also been business editor, will know that it is normally frowned upon for anyone in a position of influence or authority to be directly involved in appointing their own successor – because of the risk of maintaining objectivity about how the role should be done
