B.B. C. ORGANISATION
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF APPOINTED Recd. 7.40 p.m. London, Sept. 2. Following the resignation of the joint director-general of the 8.8. C., Sir Cecil Graves, the board of governors appointed Mr. Robert Foot, the remaining joint director-general, as sole director-general and chief executive officer. The Governors appointed Mr. W. J. Haley editor-in-chief. Mr. Haley is at present joint managing director of the Manchester Guardian and a director of Reuter’s and the Press Association. He will be jointly concerned with Mr. Foot with the character and quality of the whole of the 8.8.C.’s output.
N?wspa-per circles regard the appointment of Mr. Haley as one of most daring 8.8. C. moves, and likely to have far-reaching results.
The Australian Associated Press understands that Mr. Haley will have complete control of the entire 8.8. C. programme as well as the news organisation, being in effect the most important man in the whole organisation.
