Rachel Corp steps down as chief executive of UK news producer ITN with immediate effect, according to multiple reports. ITN confirms that Corp leaves the role after nearly four years as CEO. The change takes place abruptly, with colleagues reported as surprised by her departure. ITN says Ian Rumsey, currently chief content officer and head of ITN Productions, replaces Corp as CEO. One outlet reports that Rumsey recently announced a decision to join a rival organisation, making his appointment an apparent reversal, while another account frames the transition as unexpected for him as well. A separate report quotes Rumsey acknowledging in an email to staff that his elevation to CEO was a “turn of events” he did not see coming. Another report notes that Corp’s exit is described by ITN as being linked to her decision to pursue new opportunities. Across the coverage, ITN’s leadership change is immediate, with Rumsey moving into the top role and Corp stepping down on the same day the announcement is made.
