I do feel that you and I have individually been very lucky at “reading the room” in terms of knowing when it’s time to move on from a place. But I do feel for our former colleagues first in DC and now London for whom this must be a total shock. I know I was very surprised when you shared the news about AJE London. I hope those you can’t relocate find new opportunities soon.
Really good article, as always, Barbara! It is indeed a shame about Al Jazeera London closing - I feel
for everyone being made redundant, particularly in the current economy. It sounds like a bad time to work in TV news, what with that and the BBC cutbacks.
And I see my comment the other week about ‘world news’ actually being English-language news struck a chord (at least that’s what I like to think!) Will your speech be available to watch after the event? Would really like to watch it.
