What's in Hall's in-tray?

"The Guardian"  here published their list of the new DG's immediate priorities. What do you think?


• Restore trust in BBC News in the wake of the meltdown at Newsnight over the Jimmy Savile scandal. See through the final ramifications of the Savile crisis, including a review by Dame Janet Smith.

• Resolve the industrial dispute with trade unions over job cuts, excessive workload and alleged bullying.

• Fill the two vacancies at the top of BBC management: director of news and director of television.

• Complete the £700m round of cost-cutting begun by former director general Mark Thompson.

• Redress the imbalance that has led to too few women appearing on BBC television channels and radio.

• Respond to criticism from, among others, the broadcaster Lord Bragg and Nicholas Hytner, director of the National Theatre, that the BBC does not do enough arts coverage.

• Develop a technology strategy, post-iPlayer, for the mobile era.

Or.. something else?

If you have an answer here, then please post as a new topic and explain what and why!


• Prepare for his first Commons select committee appearance as director general on 25 April and pave the way for a new charter and licence fee settlement in the runup to 2017.

If your option is for "Something Else" then please let us know- you never know who's reading these posts!
