BBC director of global news, Richard Sambrook starts blog

Actually, Richard Sambrook‘s been blogging for a while internally at the BBC, but now he’s set up his own public facing one, Sacred Facts.

I like to use Mr Sambrook’s “We don’t own the news anymore” quote when I’m describing the changes that social media is prompting within established media.

Thanks to Ben Metcalfe and Euan Semple for the linking… Euan emphasises what a tough decision it is for someone in mr Sambrook’s position to start blogging:

I know from chatting to Richard that it is no mean challenge deciding what to write about on this external blog and what to say given his very public position but from the look of it so far he’s going to give it a bloody good go!

I for one am very glad to have this voice join the blogosphere and am looking forward to reading Sacred Facts.
