IBC = I'm Back, Chaps

Is very happy to announce, that a whole three days after going freelance again, he's been appointed Managing Editor for this year's IBC Daily News. If past years are anything to go by - and I have done this before - that's some of June, most of July and *all*, but I mean *all*, of August accounted for. Then there's the actual show itself... It's a big gig, it's a demanding gig, but it's also a very good one, not least because a) you read everything in the magazine and thus, for a week or so only, have almost perfect knowledge of the entire broadcast industry, b) you get to see so many industry friends and colleagues in the Daily newsroom, and c) you get to work as a team with some great people producing something quite spectacular under huge pressure...and then, like true freelancers, scuttle off home again to your normal hermetic existence. See you in Amsterdam...In 125 days to be precise.
