Within hours of Martha Kearney announcing her intention to leave the Today programme presenting team after the General Election, The Daily Telegraph decided Emma Barnett's ready to move in. 

Never forget Emma had seven years with The Telegraph, joining in 2009 under editor Will Lewis as their first digital media editor, aged 24, from Media Week. She became Women's Editor in 2012, under Tony Gallagher's editorship. 

Last year Emma's BBC earnings were £180k +; Martha Kearney took home £260k +.
