An outsider might think that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy was man-marking BBC Chairman Samir Shah, from the number of official meetings held over the first three months of this year. No less than five recorded, with Lisa also stepping into staff way below the Chairman; meetings with both Laura Kuenssberg and Chris Mason will inflame the conspiracy theorists.
Amusingly, Lisa met new DG Matt Brittin in mid-January "to discuss AI and copyright" a full month before his candidacy for the job was revealed. Less transparently, Lisa held a meeting "to discuss the Charter Review with long-serving BBC staff". She also introduced herself to Rhodri Talfan-Davies and had a goodbye session with Tim Davie.
To round off the three months, a cerebral session with former DG Mark Thompson, now CEO and Chairman, CNN Worldwide.
