One more weekend for the BBC News interregnum - and Harding The Hack comes riding to their relief on Monday. The build-up rivals that to the return of the Premier League; Maggie Brown in The Guardian writes a paeon of praise to his FT training ground; Roy Greenslade, in The Evening Standard, has set out what James needs to change in the BBC newsroom; and there may be more from weekend papers.
I'm more interested in James' news sources. He's a non-tweeting Twitter lurker, and follows 136 accounts. Here's a selection...
BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Breaking News - no problems there.
Various select BBC people - Nick Robinson, Nick Sutton (editor of The World at One, and provider of newspaper front pages most evenings) Rory Cellan-Jones, James Purnell, Andrew Neil (who counts as papers as well) Ian Katz, as he moves from the Guardian to Newsnight, Gabby Logan, Danny Baker, Victoria Coren
Sky News - Adam Boulton
ITV News - Tom Bradby, Laura Kuennssberg
Newspaper bosses - Rupert Murdoch, Alan Rusbridger, Lionel Barber
A whole slew of Times' chums, as you'd expect
Guardianistas: Polly Toynbee, Jonathan Freedland, Joanna Geary, Andrew Sparrow
University chums: Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong
MPs: Sajid Javid, Ben Bradshaw, Rachel Reeves
The Mail on Sunday dep news editor, David Rose
Telegraph dep ed Benedict Brogan
CNN: Newt Gingrich, Jake Tapper and Piers Morgan
Odds and ends: Eddie Izzard, Tim Minchin, Sarah Brown, Arianna Huffington, Jimmy Fallon, Mrs Stephen Fry
Not comprehensive, but a flavour of the social media company he keeps.
