My new job…and yours?

I am delighted and — yes, excited — to announce that I’ll be join­ing the World Eco­nomic Forum as Man­aging Dir­ector and Head of Com­mu­nic­a­tions from August. [More here.]

In the new role I’ll be remov­ing my com­ment­ary hat and trav­el­ling a lot more, so the blog will prob­ably fall into abey­ance — it’s been suf­fer­ing from neg­lect of late.

I’ve had a great four years at City, with ter­rific and tal­en­ted col­leagues and even more ter­rific and tal­en­ted students.

There’s been a lot of change: new people, new pro­grammes, and fant­astic facil­it­ies for the new Gradu­ate School of Journ­al­ism. With the paint dry and the offi­cial open­ing sched­uled for June 17, now seems as good a time as any for someone new to take journ­al­ism at City onwards and upwards.

Lis How­ell is kindly tak­ing the helm as interim whilst the post is advertised.

So if you’d like to lead the world’s greatest journ­al­ism school…there’s an opening.
