BBC Hires Ex-Labour Minister For Digital Job
The Drum, Sunday, February 17, 2013 6:08 PM

The former culture secretary is a former head of corporate planning at the broadcaster and landed the plum position after being offered the role directly by incoming director-general Tony Hall… without advertising the vacancy to others in a bid to save money.
