Making news travel further

Declan Wilson is the new Head of TV and Online News for BBC England. "This is a key role in the BBC England management team, reporting to Helen Thomas, with responsibility for developing a strategy for TV and digital audiences in the English regions and ensuring their journalism travels further."

Declan came to public attention as line manager of Dan Johnson, begetter of the BBC News' 2015 entry to the Royal Television Society for Scoop Of The Year: Sir Cliff Richard.  In 2018 Mr Justice Mann, amongst other financial penalties, took an extra £20k of the BBC for that entry - and offered this note on Mr Wilson.

Mr Wilson's most recent successes within BBC News include launching a new Korean service.
