Exciting and friendly London newsroom

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Fantastic group of colleagues in London newsroom - fun and lively atmosphere. Gutsy news channel, unafraid of new ideas. Central London location. International and new perspective on news reporting.

Cons

Administration (pay rises etc) is often delayed and shambolic. Bureaucratic, but no more so than any other organisation.
