ITV News setting up news and current affairs office in Edinburgh

A NEW news and current affairs office is being set up by ITV, in Edinburgh – and it’s currently recruiting.

Says the broadcaster: “ITV News Border is in an exciting expansion phase and is launching a new service of current affairs and political programmes for ITV Border Scotland.”

And it is looking for two assistant producers, as advertised here on allmediascotland.com and repeated on twitter.com/allmediajobs.

It is also seeking an executive producer, as advertised here.

Plus a researcher: here. And a series producer: here. And (on a three-month contract) a VT editor: here.

Last month, allmediascotland.com reported the appointment of now former deputy editor at The Scotsman, Peter MacMahon, as political editor of ITV Border.
