Twitter break-up

So far, no sign of re-tweets for these two items below from the usually omni-present @iankatz1000, Editor of Newsnight.

Told Thursday, Newsnight's editor is closing programme's post of Science Editor. Disappointing, professionally and personally.

The new #Newsnight doesn't need 2 dedicated foreign reporters so sadly after 12 yrs from Afghan war to Arab uprisings I'm off the show

Susan Watts has been with Newsnight for 18 years, and messages of alarum at her post closure have come, so far, from Harriet Harman and Lisa Jardine.  Katz responded, eventually.

Newsnight's commitment to covering science - including climate change - as strong as ever. Just want to do it in a different way.

Tim Whewell's quietly tenacious but illuminating reports will be missed by this viewer.

Meanwhile I expect more glittering announcements from Katz next week, as he fills Allegra Stratton's post during her maternity leave.
