MEDIA BRIEFS: GMTV rejigs editorial after Reuters split

GMTV has appointed senior correspondent Martin Frizell as executive producer as part of an editorial shake-up. It follows a decision by Reuters to pull out of its contract to provide news for GMTV, which will bring on to its own payroll the Reuters journalists working at the station. In addition, John Scammell has been named editorial manager and deputy editor, while Malcolm Douglas takes on responsibility for input from both GMTV and ex-Reuters staff.
