 Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | Purnell's progress
But for James Purnell, former No 10 policy aide, former John Birt strategist, and present occupant of the "one to watch" column in Westminster observers' notebooks, the position of minister for broadcasting at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport is but the latest stage in a logical career trajectory.
Purnell has already made a statement with his job title: unlike his predecessor, Lord McIntosh, who was minister for broadcasting, Purnell's job description has been updated to minister for the creative industries.
Purnell bats away the criticism, saying one of the reasons that he moved into elected politics, and away from the shadowy world of strategy and policy advice, was to realise his ambitions to make a difference to people's lives.

James Purnell, the newly appointed minister for tourism, is the author of an outspoken article which attacked the proposed London bid for the 2012 Olympic Games as a waste of £5 billion and the "wrong priority" for Britain.

Mr Purnell, painfully aware of his history on the subject, confessed that he had written the article to Tessa Jowell, the Culture Secretary, when he was appointed.
