Channel 4 News economics correspondent Faisal Islam has been promoted to economics editor.
Programme editor Jim Gray said: “We don’t believe in promoting people for the sake of it –what’s most important is that we are producing distinctive and revelatory journalism that engages with the issues of the day – whatever field those issues may be in. Giving Faisal the ‘editor’ title reflects not just his solid reputation amongst his peers, but also his status nd impact within the Channel 4 newsroom as a whole. Economics is a central part of our editorial agenda, and will continue to be long beyond the election.”
