George Entwistle starts work as director-general of the BBC today and is expected to explain his vision of the corporation's future to staff later in the week.
The 50-year-old takes over from Mark Thompson who will become president and chief executive of the New York Times Company in November.
Mr Entwistle will take on a much-reduced salary of £450,000, a £200,000-plus reduction on that paid to the outgoing boss.
