Congratulations to Katie Razzall, the BBC's first Culture Editor. I can't find the job ad. It would be good to see exactly how it's different from the Arts Editor role held by Will Gompertz. Perhaps he was able to claim redundancy. Katie was probably at risk of redundancy at Newsnight, through the reduction in reporting staff dedicated to programmes. 

Being Newsnight’s UK Editor has allowed me to try & get under the skin of the nation. (It’s not like much has been happening..) It’s thrilling I can continue that in my exciting new role at a time when culture has never been more entwined with politics, tech, economics & more
