How many people work in BBC News ?  I used to type 6,000 instinctively, but a new job advert carries this new assessment: "News is the largest division within the BBC with 5,000 colleagues across Digital, News Output, News Content, International Services and Production Operations."

"The mission of BBC News & Current Affairs is to be 'distinctive, trusted, engaging everyone, every day.' It’s a vision that applies just as much to News Internal Communications and Engagement as it does to the external content that News produces for its audiences."

On the outward-facing front, News can expect plenty of coverage next week for publication of the first data in the promised external engagements register, listing the paid external engagements of senior leaders and journalists.  Will it count the endless unpaid engagements of correspondents plugging their latest books ?  I thought not....
