Title: New DG, same approachability Post by Forum Admin on Jun 22nd, 2004, 11:06am Mark Thompson started work as the New Director General today, Tuesday June 22, and sent this email to staff: From: Mark Thompson Sent: 22 June 2004 10:42 Subject: Hello everyone This email's going to all staff -------------------------------- Hello everyone. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself (or re-introduce myself!) on my first day back at the BBC. One of the great things Greg did here was to transform the relationship between the DG and the rest of the organisation. He went out of his way to meet and talk to people, to keep them informed and to listen to them. Everyone thought they could e-mail him or button-hole him if they saw him. We're starting a new chapter at the BBC but Greg's tradition of openness and friendliness is definitely one I want to continue. In fact, we may need to spend more time talking to each other in the coming months. In a week, we're launching our vision for the future - our contribution to the debate about the BBC's Charter. And we face a host of opportunities and issues, some of them quite complex and contentious. So you'll be hearing plenty from me. This afternoon I'll speaking on the ringmain at 2 o'clock. The broadcast will also be streamed on Gateway. See below for broadcast details. Next Tuesday, you'll be able to hear Michael Grade and me launching our Charter document. And I'm also going to do something I started at Channel 4 - a regular e-mail to all staff with news and some tips on what to look out for on our airwaves. You'll get the first one on Monday. It's great to be back. I'm really looking forward to working with you. All the best, Mark |
