Diary: Water-cooler monitor

WHAT TOPICS HAVE THE INDUSTRY BEEN DISCUSSING THIS WEEK?
THE TALK TIME SPENT
Will Lewis' rise to editor at The Daily Telegraph. All 39 mins 41 secs
the negative commentary last week seems to have forced
someone, somewhere to make a decision and attempt to
counter some editorial uncertainty.

Trouble in luvvie paradise. Rumours are rife of a split 6 mins 57 secs
between Mother and Bono-fronted charity Red.

Richard Pinder's elevation within Publicis Groupe. 19 mins 29 secs
The gap he leaves behind him at Leo Burnett Europe
won't be welcome. The network's Chicago office is already
struggling.

ITV's chief executive vacancy. It seems nobody wants 37 mins 19 secs
to take on the ITV turnaround challenge. Even worse,
rumours now abound that chairman Sir Peter Burt is
plotting his exit.
