Jonathan Munro, interim CEO of BBC News, has announced that Richard Burgess, Executive Editor UK News Content, will move up to interim Head of News Content.
Burgess, author of Blue Moon Rising, James Bond nerd, and shortlister of Martin Bashir, is not standing still, with an email to staff to stress that there'll be no slacking under his regime, which doesn't seem at this stage particularly time-limited.
"I want us to break more important stories; to deliver more original journalism, get to places and people which would otherwise be unheard; and to put impartiality and expertise at the heart of all our reporting."
"There’s lots more to come, including masterclass Q and As, a new Celebrating Success initiative, staff lunches, a different monthly email (hold your excitement…) and I may even try a regular video message to staff – that’s how digital I am!"
