Whoops. The man hired to run BBC News' digital operations from Washington, who said the BBC was aggressively expanding in North America, has gone, after two and a half months in post.
Saeed Ahmed joined at the start of November, from NPR. Yesterday, Jake Kanter at Deadline revealed he'd left; an email from Digital News Editor Stuart Millar said “I’m sorry to announce that Saeed Ahmed has decided to leave his role as US head of digital journalism to take up a senior position with another news organisation. This is with immediate effect."
There's no sign of a very big job yet on Saeed's Twitter feed; indeed he has deleted a number of tweets related to his BBC appointment. Yet yesterday he posted a selfie as he started teaching an 'Introduction to Journalism' course at Georgetown.
