Corp gets it

Congratulations to Rachel Corp, Editor, ITV News, anointed CEO at ITV News in less than half the time it took Tim Davie to (partially) land Deborah Turness.  ITV seem to be able to make the BBC wait until 1st September for Turness' arrival at Broadcasting House.

Rachel (James Allen's Girls' School, Dulwich; Marlborough and Leeds University) worked on Leeds Student Radio, winning the NUS/Guardian award for Broadcaster of the Year. She travelled in Bosnia, making features for Woman's Hour as a freelance, before joining ITN as a trainee. She was part of the launch team for Channel 5 news, and did the network's Diana death announcement. 

She left ITN for a spell as the BBC's Moscow producer, then for a time worked for an online web-conferencing company before returning to Grays Inn Road.  Rachel's sister Sarah followed her to ITV in 1998, working mainly in foreign story production, and died from lung cancer in 2016, never having smoked.
