Sky News has promoted three journalists to newly created roles which it says prove its commitment to foreign news, home affairs and environmental issues.

The broadcaster has undergone numerous changes, including axing 17 editorial jobs, following a less-than-successful relaunch last September.

A Sky spokeswoman told Press Gazette: “We have always worked on the basis of having certain specialisms like health, politics and crime, but what we are doing is adding to them so we have more specialists in various fields.” Europe correspondent Rachel Amatt has been made foreign affairs correspondent.
