Diversification

It's a year since the BBC's Director of News, James Harding, deemed himself a suitable radio presenter, and found time in his diary to front a documentary about Pope Francis.

A man who likes his newspapers folded a certain way (by someone else) is unlikely to be riddled with self-doubt, and I understand a more structured and regular return to the microphone for this emerging talent is imminent. (Or perhaps he's filling a hole that was offered to Peston, now twiddling his thumbs til a January launch with ITV ?)

The BBC already boasts one very senior manager who also presents; maybe one at a time is enough.
