According to The Times, Chris Mason and Adam Fleming are to be interviewed soon for the vacancy as BBC Political Editor.
Adam came to the BBC via their three-month work experience scheme, from studying geography at Hertford, Oxford. He'd been working on the Oxford Student (not Cherwell) and Oxygen Radio. The BBC offered to sponsor him through a post-graduate journalism course at City University.
Chris was spookily studying geography by day at Christ's College Cambridge (he got a 1st) whilst evenings saw him "mucking about on student radio, telly and newspapers". It paid off - he joined ITN as a trainee in conjunction with City University.
Adam Fleming got his break at The Beeb when he was invited to join CBBC's Newsround back around Millennium time.
