Personal vs BBC Twitter accounts - 4

The request was successful.

Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,

I apologise for raising this thorny topic once again. This FOI request follows on from my earlier request RFI20201301 and the subsequent internal review IR2020052.

This week I noticed that Amol Rajan's Twitter handle is @amolrajan and does not include the letters "BBC" in the handle so, presumably, it is "personal" rather than "BBC". Rajan uses the following description on Twitter: Media Editor @BBCNews; @BBCRadio4 (#MediaShow #StartTheWeek #Rethink); @BBCRadio2; @BBCTheOneShow

In your reply to IR2020052 I was told:
However, the FOI team should have provided you with the relevant editorial policy contact details which can be found here at: [email address]

Seeking confirmation, today I queried the status of Rajan's Twitter handle with an email to the address given. They quickly responded with:
Thank you for your email. You’ve come through to BBC Editorial Policy. We’re an internal department that gives advice to BBC programme and content makers. We can’t correspond with members of the public, but I have passed your email on to BBC News, who will be responding to you.

It is clear that the [email address] address given to me in your response to IR2020052 is incorrect. Please provide an alternative email address..

Yours faithfully,

Mr A Willmore
