Turness back

The NBC/Sky News channel that never happened left at least 60 people without a job when it was cancelled last August. One of them, Deborah Turness will be going back to her roots at ITN, as its CEO. 

Deborah, 53 (St Francis College [expelled], Knights Templar Baldock, University of Surrey, Bordeaux University) joined ITN in 1988 as a freelance in the Paris office. She left as its first woman editor in 2013, to join NBC in the States. 

Deborah replaces Anna Mallett who joined as CEO in 2019 from BBC Studios, and is now set to join Netflix as VP Physical Production for the UK and local language production across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific.  The handover comes in April.
