London, Apr. 16 (ANI): The ex-editor of the Times, James Harding, has been named as the BBC's director of news on Tuesday.
Harding resigned from the paper in December, saying it had been made clear that publishers News International wanted a new editor.
According to the BBC, he became editor of The Times in 2007 at the age of 38.
Harding is a former business editor of the Times and was also Washington bureau chief of the Financial Times.
His appointment comes after the former head of news, Helen Boaden, moved to a new role as director of BBC Radio. (ANI)
