Former News of the World US editor, Georgina Dickinson, has joined celebrity news and pictures agency Splash as news editor of its Los Angeles bureau.
Dickinson, who left the NoW in June after more than ten years working for the Sunday redtop in the US, is one of a number of new appointments at the agency.
During her stint in the US, Dickinson broke a number of high-profile stories including Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps being caught smoking a bong.
She will be joined in Los Angeles by former Daily Mail showbusiness reporter Jo Clements, who is returning to Splash.
