He joined the BBC as a news trainee in 1978. After working in Blackburn, Birmingham, and Belfast, he joined the BBC Radio 4 Programme, The World at One - then presented by Sir Robin Day.
In 1986, he joined ITN and returned to the BBC at the beginning of 1988 as Deputy editor of The World at One. In August 1989 he became Editor of PM, moving on three years later to edit The World at One. In 1996, he became joint editor of both The World at One and PM and in 1998, launched the new Sunday morning news programme Broadcasting House, presented by Eddie Mair.
Today programmeedit
He became editor of the Today programme in November 2002, succeeding Rod Liddle who had resigned the previous September. In May 2003, Today became embroiled in a row with the Government over an early morning claim made by reporter Andrew Gilligan that the Government "probably knew" that one of the key claims made in its September 2002 dossier detailing Iraq's WMD "was wrong". Marsh did not give evidence to Lord Hutton during the subsequent inquiry; Hutton criticised the editing procedures on Today.
BBC College of Journalismedit
In April 2006, Marsh left Today to become Editor at the BBC College of Journalism, a new venture that was set up in 2005 in the wake of the Hutton report and the recommendations of the Neil committee which examined the BBC's response to the inquiry's findings. The College is not a physical entity but an e-learning online set of courses.
