BBC People director Lucy Adams has used the Guardian's Organ Grinder blog to respond to criticism about the corporation's plans to cut the pay bill of senior managers.
She was responding to a piece by former Channel 5 boss David Elstein, who argued the sums didn't add up.
It's interesting that the BBC responded so publicly to Elstein's comments, so quickly, and through its HR director. Adams has been in the job for about six months so I wonder if this signals the first attempts at raising her profile?
The Guardian is mostly BBC-friendly and Auntie is on safe ground here. Doubt we would have seen the notorious BBC-hater Daily Mail run such a comment piece. Apparently, the paper has two journalists dedicated to digging up negative stories on the BBC.
