You can't really imagine a foreign correspondent of standing, coming straight from some exclusive frontline filming in one of the world's terrorist hotspots, leaping from their armoured vehicle, khaki shirt dripping under layers of kevlar, bursting through the door of the smelly rented shed that passes for the BBC 'bureau', and shouting "Get me London, I need to speak to the Executive News Editor for the World Story Team".
Paul Danahar has been selected for that London job, and you'll notice in his celebratory tweet, he gives it a shorter title.
Some personal news: after 25 years on the road in Asia, Africa, the Mid East & USA, I’m off to the UK next year to be the BBC’s new Foreign Editor. It’s one of the best jobs in international news, working with a top team of BBC journalists at home & abroad. So, I’m chuffed!🙂
