Boundary changes

For those entertained by the new BBC News management structure, I can report that size seems to matter to the men in charge. 

Jamie Angus, Senior Controller, News Output and Commissioning has outlined his new group to staff and claimed "Together we produce almost all of BBC News’ live daily news output, and run the new commissioning structure that sits at the heart of our new operating model." Newsnight and Newsbeat are new acquisitions, though political programmes are lost to News Content (nee Newsgathering). 

Jamie has found a berth for Joanna Carr, previously Head of Current Affairs (including Newsnight)  as Head of Long Form Commissioning, Panorama, TV long form, long form audio, and podcast strategy.  (What will happen to her £165k + salary ?), but it's a pretty firm thank you and goodbye to two former News Board colleagues: "I’d like to thank Gavin Allen and Kamal Ahmed for their leadership, and for supporting you all in this transition period."

At News Content nee Newsgathering, Jonathan Munro notes newly-won control of politics programmes, and will continue to run the News Editors, a sort of VAR function that tried to balance programme demands with newsgathering capabilities, and will presumably now patrol a new frontline with Mr Angus' commissioning structure. 

On the Digital Front, Nathalie Malinarich’s Digital Development area takes over Design and "Visual Journalists", whilst Long Reads, Picture Desk and Writers’ team go to Digital Output, led by Stuart Millar.
