Peter Horrocks, the BBC’s head of television news, has announced
changes that include pooling journalists who will work across the One
O’Clock, Six O’Clock and Ten O’Clock bulletins and put greater effort
into breaking stories on News 24.

A new daytime editor will replace the current editors of the One O’Clock and Six O’Clock News.

The
BBC said the changes are a result of many conversations that Horrocks
has had with staff since he took on the role in September and are
designed to reflect the increasing importance of News 24 in the BBC’s
overall strategy.
