The BBC has appointed its first permanent San Francisco technology reporter to cover the “second renaissance” of creativity and business in Silicon Valley, according to a story by Jemima Kiss in The Guardian.
Kiss wrote, “Maggie Shiels has already covered Silicon Valley for the BBC on a freelance basis, as well as undertaking science and business reporting for TV and radio.
“Shiels will be reporting mainly for the BBC News website but will also file multimedia reports for the corporation’s TV and radio outlets.
“Darren Waters, technology editor for the BBC News site, said the corporation needed a reporter on the ground in San Francisco to stay on top of the highly competitive technology news industry.”
