BBC Appoints Regional Editor For World Service Europe And Americas Region
The BBC's former Washington and Brussels Bureau Chief Simon Wilson has been appointed Regional Editor for the BBC World Service Europe and Americas Region.
When he takes up the role in August 2019, Simon will provide managerial and editorial leadership to about 300 BBC World Service staff working for the Russian, Ukraine, Serbian, Azerbaijani as well as Mundo (Spanish) and Brasil services.
He said: "I am thrilled to be taking on this exciting role at such an important time for the development of the World Service. Some of the BBC’s finest and bravest journalists work for these language services and I have had the privilege of working alongside a number of them during my previous overseas postings.
"There are big challenges ahead, but the BBC is the best in the business when all its different parts pull together – something I have always encouraged wherever I have been lucky enough to work."
