BBC to get new boss

The BBC is to get a new boss after British Prime Minister Theresa May chose not to make her predecessor David Cameron's nominee, Rona Fairhead, an automatic pick for the role, the latest of several breaks with his legacy. The public broadcaster is about to undergo an overhaul of its governance structure that will involve scrapping the BBC Trust, which currently regulates the broadcaster. The Trust said on Wednesday that May's government had decided to run a competitive process to appoint the Board's first chair, and published a statement from Fairhead saying she would not be applying.
