Yes, he’s very good - while in this instance it was of course the budget he was reporting on I’m not sure I see much more of reporting as his role of ‘Economics Editor’ - this data sort of data journalism/analysis is what he seems to excel at and is needed these days. (His colleague, Mark Kleinman, seems to do more business coverage - and is excellent at doing so).
In terms of delivery Ed is a much improved version of the BBC’s Head of Statistics, Robert Cuffe.
Ed is now credited as Economics and Data Editor which I think is to encompass the fact he’s doing more of the data analysis away from economics.
Also we’re reportedly going to see a few tweaks to the branding/logo on Sky News on the 29th March - potentially the last rebrand/brand refresh on TV Forum before it closes. As I say it’s just minor changes were told. But I’m hoping with this change, we’ll see a bit of consistency with the branding. On thing that niggles me is that we have a mix of some shows with title cards and others not. Surely the Evenings (News at Ten & News at 9/News at 11), weekday breakfast and weekday afternoon (as Sarah-Jane is away) could have title cards just so the day is standardised.
I have to say I like this recent focus on numbers and their increasing use of Ed Conway as explainer-in-chief. It’s this level of detail that will differentiate them from GB News and I think they’ll do it more and more.
