Spreading out

The shake-up of managers at BBC News continues: Managing Editor Sarah Ward Lilley, is leaving later this year; whoever replaces her has to be based at Salford. 

Mary Hockaday, acting News International Services Director, is also off later this year. Jon Zilkha, who's recently been working on "Modernising News" (a project not a podcast), takes over her substantive post, as Controller, World Service English; the top international job has yet to be filled. 

In further dispersals, Hugh Levinson heads to Salford, editing and  overseeing production of podcast and long form content on radio networks and BBC Sounds. There are vacances for a Newsbeat/Asian Network Editor, based in Birmingham; and an Executive News Editor, Digital Growth and Delivery, based in Cardiff.
