MUMBAI: Richard Sambrook, BBC's director of global news, is set to leave the UK pubcaster after 30 years.

Sambrook has said he is leaving to pursue a project "outside of journalism."

Sambrook will be replaced by Peter Horrocks, who will combine being director of global news with his current role as director of the BBC World Service.

"The BBC is not an easy organisation to leave. There are few places which are as creative. However, 2010 will mark 30 years in BBC journalism for me and it's time to go," Sambrook said.
