I continue to be entertained by Newsnight's recruitment strategy. Weeks away from formal announcements of 500 job cuts across the News division, today they announce another hire from another news organisation. Most public sector organisations would already be implementing a recruitment freeze, and the unions would be looking to hold on to all vacancies as opportunities to resettle insiders under threat.
Today's appointment has been welcomed on Twitter by Laura Kuenssberg, who was previously Business Editor at ITV News. The recruit has come from ITV Business News.
The most recent ads for jobs at Newsnight I can find have been for a political researcher (December) and an investigations correspondent (January). I'd love to be pointed to an ad I've missed.
