Crick replaces Kearney on Newsnight

By the founding editor | Wed 21st March 2007 - 2:39 pm

Media Guardian reports:

Michael Crick has been appointed political editor of Newsnight.
The journalist famous for his exposés of Jeffery Archer is taking over from Martha Kearney – who is moving to host BBC Radio 4’s The World at One next month.

Since 1992 Crick has worked on Newsnight as a politics specialist.

Prior to that he worked for two years on Panorama and before that he was a founder member of Channel 4 News.

Crick is best known for his tough questioning and terrier-like investigations.

My abiding memory of Michael Crick is leaving a Manchester derby at Eastlands when City spanked United and seeing him leaving. In floods of tears.

He’s doorstepping outside Reading station tonight on the Budget.
