Hello.
George Entwistle, speech to BBC staff, 18th September 2012
“…the key task is to understand the stage we’ve reached in the ongoing digital revolution …
it’s the quest for this – genuinely new forms of digital content – that represents the next profound moment of change we need to prepare for … We need to be ready to produce and create genuinely digital content for the first time.”

George Entwistle, 10th November 2012
“in the light of the unacceptable journalistic standards of the Newsnight film broadcast on Friday 2nd November; I have decided that the honourable thing to do is to step down from the post of Director-General.”

Alex Balfour on the next DG
“there was, and is, no candidate who can credibly say that they have a combination of a peerless track record in political advocacy, editorial and creative judgement AND digital insight and execution”
I really wish there was
