thread_title: Adding a Link

message: *First, where I put , somebody please provide evidence.
*Second, let's clear out some vague areas. 
:*"reform its media structure": how?
:*"who worked in one of the areas now being centralised": where is "areas"? in BBC? where did he publish his article?
:*And it all comes down to the criticism of Tom Coates & Ian Burrel's praise. We need to know how he criticized. Also why Ian Burrel likes the move. And it's okay to put two viewpoints because we are supposed to be NPOV, which means that we have to present arguments from both sides.

thread_title: Recent Dispute

message: I have followed up on some of User:Tecoates work, converting external links to references & adding a little additional information. I have my concerns with the hagiographic tone of the Independent article but it is only being used here to cite points of fact, not subjective statements or anything controversial, so I think it's OK. I do have my worries about a separate "Controversies" section (this goes for all articles, not this one) - ideally this should be merged into the career section, summarising Highfield's time at the BBC (seven years in new media is a long time).

replies: text: Thanks for that Guardian link, I have updated. I know one year is not as good as all of them, but my moving it to the top of the article was to replace the difficult-to-substantiate "He is generally considered to be one of the most powerful people in British media". The more I read the Independent article the more I dislike it as a source - perhaps paradoxically I prefer the BBC official biography as a source, as at least then any reader checking the references is able to come to a more immediate conclusion about the likely point of view it's going to take.
