Andrew Dagnell, currently editor of ITV Network News, has been promoted to head up news and current affairs content across the whole of ITV.<\/p>\n

In early 2025, Dagnell will join and take overall responsibility for ITV\u2019s network news, regional news and current affairs output on both ITV1 and all ITV\u2019s digital platforms. He will be responsible for the senior news management team and more than 800 colleagues who work across regional news.<\/p>\n

Dagnell will be reporting to Kevin Lygo, managing director of media and entertainment.<\/p>\n

He succeeds long-standing director of news and current affairs Michael Jermey, who will leave ITV at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Lygo said: \u201cI am thrilled that Andrew has accepted the role. He was the stand-out candidate\u2014hugely impressive and held in high regard by all those who have worked with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great news for everyone in ITV that we have secured Andrew\u2019s inspiring leadership to take our high quality and, I believe, market-leading news and current affairs output into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dagnell said: \u201cIt is a huge privilege to be taking up this role. The teams behind news and current affairs at ITV are among the best in the world, and it is an honor to be trusted to lead them. I can\u2019t wait to work with colleagues across the U.K. as we maintain and build on ITV\u2019s reputation as a trusted, impartial broadcaster.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
