Michael Grade appointed new Chairman of BBC
The BBC has been appointed a new Chairman to fill the role vacated by Gavin Davies, who resigned after the Hutton Report found there had been a total lack of care within the editorial management of BBC News. Michael Grade is an ex—BBC employee — it being rather difficult to find anyone in the British media who hasn't worked for the BBC — and also ran Channel 4 for a number of years. It will be interesting to see if he makes any impact on the pervasive anti American tone of the Beeb.
