Still no sign of a new chair for Ofcom. Perhaps it's time to remind ourselves about this blog post, from Monisha Shah, back on gov,uk in November 2020. Monisha is a member of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, as well as being a former BBC member of staff who sits on Ofcom's Content Board.
"Media stories alleging key national appointments have been pre-decided by ministers before they are even advertised discourages good people from putting their name forward. It undermines trust in the administration and creates unfair pressures on so many others who serve their Boards in the best spirit of public service. This loss of public confidence in public appointments – and the potential loss of talent - won’t just be a loss to those institutions, it will be a loss to us all."
