Guy Ruddle, former BBC Radio 5 presenter, has been hired by The Daily Telegraph as podcast editor. The paper claims the creation of this position is a first for a UK national paper. Ruddle is to take up his position in January, with the objective of expanding the podcasting service (launched last month) the paper currently offers.
Ruddle commented on the new Telegraph initiative saying, "This is a fantastic opportunity - one where I hope to be setting new standards for others to follow."
