Shaper

You have until 17th June to toss your cv and a covering letter into the ring to replace Kevin Bakhurst as Group Director, Broadcasting & Media, Ofcom. Headhunters Egon Zehnder will also be out and about co-ercing the shy and retiring. 

"This role provides a unique opportunity to shape and influence the modern broadcasting and media industry for the UK over the next 5-10 years, in particular supporting the growth, development and diversity of public service media. The role includes oversight of Ofcom’s regulation of the BBC; its work to ensure media plurality; broadcasting and radio licensing and policy; and compliance with the broadcasting code. "

Other big decisions to make: is GB News a news channel or something else ?  How many MPs interviewing MPs of the same party constitutes a balanced conversation ?  Is there a difference between local radio and regional radio ?  Does the number of complaints generated really help identify the trickiest issues in broadcasting ?
