Media Brief

I'm the BBC's media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what you need to know.

Will Lewis, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Telegraph, who led its award-winning expose of MPs' expenses, has left the group. The Guardian says there was a disagreement with the chief executive Murdoch MacLennan over future strategy.

Friday's EastEnders will mark the result of the election, whatever the outcome, with a scene dropped in at the last moment. The BBC reports that all eventualities have been planned for.

DVD sales fell last year in the wake of the collapse of Woolworths and Zavvi. But sales of legal downloads of films and TV series, grew by 40 per cent to 7.2m, according to the British Video Association handbook. The Guardian says the BVA hopes it's the start of trend that will counter piracy, as more titles become available on websites like iTunes.

The man who led the switch to digital TV explains why he wants everyone to switch to DAB digital radio. Ford Ennals is interviewed by the Daily Telegraph.
