The internet is blurring the line between marketing and editorial skills - as I said in this blog post from earlier in the year http://nickreynoldsatwork.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/more-whys/ "Bloggers, journalists, marketeers and PR people are a network, even a community who rely on each other and increasingly use the same tools and techniques." Peter's editorial skills and understanding of how journalism works make him perfect for this role. And if he wants to understand more about the internet, what better place to work? It's a big blow for the BBC though. I just hope we can get him back one day! I don’t think this is surprising at all.

“Bloggers, journalists, marketeers and PR people are a network, even a community who rely on each other and increasingly use the same tools and techniques.”

Peter’s editorial skills and understanding of how journalism works make him perfect for this role. And if he wants to understand more about the internet, what better place to work?

It’s a big blow for the BBC though. I just hope we can get him back one day!

So it isn't a very surprisong move. Google probably pays more. The BBC is a left-wing propaganda organ, and so is Google News. So it isn’t a very surprisong move. Google probably pays more.
