Two interesting jobs

Thought these two jobs at the BBC maybe of interest to some readers:

Senior Advisor, Policy

The interaction between the BBC and the public is central to many of the BBC’s objectives under the new Charter. The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) and the Data Protection Act (DPA) are a key part of that interaction. The principle role of the Senior Advisor, Policy will be to ensure the BBC’s policies in these areas are at the leading edge for media organisations. The policies need to move both with the changes in legislation and its interpretation and the rapidly moving media and technology arenas. Keeping the balance between the BBC’s openness agenda and its need to ensure its effectiveness in a highly competitive media marketplace is also a key challenge for the Information Policy and Compliance team.
