The new ABC board has been reduced to 16 industry representatives, compared to the previous council’s 32 members.
The board includes digital media, with one quarter of the members representing the digital media industry for the first time.
It is made up of council members, trade association representatives and industry figures such as Tim Brooks, managing director of Guardian News and Media, and Jeremy Found, head of media of the COI, along with digital representatives Lee Baker, director of AOP, and Nigel Gwilliam, digital consultant of IPA.
The board’s role will be to oversee the running of ABC and ABCe and will meet five times a year.
Also a result of the changes, Reporting Standards Groups will also have more autonomy, including the ability to ratify rule changes, provided a unanimous decision has been reached by members.
