New Digital Champion role

November 14, 2008 Posted by Kevin in : Bristol , trackback

Digital Inclusion Minister Paul Murphy has announced that the Government are looking for a high profile figure to help promote the Digitaal Inclusion agenda.

The role was set out in the cross-Government report Delivering Digital Inclusion: An Action Plan for Consultation.

Guardian Technology Journalist Michael Cross has been speculating (not entirely seriously) as to which public figure might be best able to fill the post. Russell Brand, Stephen Fry and Alan Sugar were all part of his shortlist. If you have any thoughts on the matter you are invited to submit suggestions to tech@guardian.co.uk.
