BBC DG Tim Davie has turned to John Hardie, formerly of ITN, to get his social media guidelines out of their current mess by the end of summer.
John Hardie, 61, (Colston Secondary, Glasgow and MA English & Philosophy Glasgow University) served nearly 10 years as CEO and Editor-In-Chief of ITN, in the days of Deborah Turness leading on the shopfloor. John also served as Chair of the Royal Television Society from 2011 to 2016. In 2020 he was appointed to the Public Service Broadcasting Advisory Panel, as part of a Government review in to public service broadcasting.
Prior to ITN, John was Executive Vice President at Walt Disney and Marketing and Commercial Director of ITV Network. He began his career at Procter & Gamble, rising from graduate trainee to Managing Director.
Congrats to Tim Davie on appointment to BBC DG. Parochial note: two largest UK media companies now run by ex Procter & Gamble execs
