Selector !

The past comes to the aid of the displaced again, with former Newsnight editor Peter Rippon resurfacing as Editor, BBC Online Archive.  He will be charged with developing an "Online Journal Of Record".  This is apparently different from looking for cached stuff on Google, and doesn't require high pressure decisions. He has to choose a television and news bulletin from every day of the year from the last 80 years to put online in some form.

History also found a job for Adrian Van Klaveren, now looking after World War One centenary programmes - if it lasts for four years, he'll have more job security than many News colleagues.
