New culture secretary

As UK cultural policy is a central topic in MA CCI at King’s, it’s worth noting here on Lost in CCI that James Purnell was named yesterday as the new Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, in new Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s cabinet reshuffle. More information can be found about this 37-year-old boy wonder here (a profile from today’s Guardian) and here (the Wikipedia entry). We were also inspired to take a virtual look around his new home, the DCMS.
