Former EiC Mark Wood to leave ITN

Monday 29 September 2008

Reuters' former editor-in-chief Mark Wood is to step down as chief executive of Britain's Independent Television News. He will leave early next year to "pursue opportunities outside the company", The Guardian reported, although ITN said he would remain in his dual role of ITN chairman "for a period".

Wood ran Reuters’ global news and television operations as editor-in-chief from 1989 to 2000. He then took charge of strategic media investments and alliances as director of Reuters Content Partners.

He joined Reuters in 1976 and was a correspondent in Vienna, East Berlin, Moscow and Bonn. He became ITN’s CEO in June 2003 and chairman in July 1998.

Thomson Reuters is a part owner of ITN. ■
