BBC News: Presenters & Rotas

Considering no one who shows support with the Gender Pay Gap movement is supposedly allowed to be reporting on this story on air, I note that Louise Minchin was reporting on this earlier on today on Breakfast and asking questions surrounding this to the reporter Amol Rajan.

And then she's been seen on various news reports today as one of the women who attended to show support at Carrie Gracie's hearing in London alongside Naga Munchetty, Kate Silverton and Kate Adie amongst others.

Has this impartiality rule been relaxed now or was an oversight made?

Am I right in thinking Fiona Bruce is a freelancer at the BBC?

Interesting to see on today's Metro itv cover wraparound that she's presenting an crime documentary on John Warboys for them.

Partly to show up what the people editing anti-BBC newspapers are.
Shameful two-faced hypocrites.

They're hypocrites because they are paying people doing non-equivalent jobs a different amount of money?

The easier example would be two regional titles in the same group, are the editors paid the same?

I've just looked back through this thread, and this comment sums it up perfectly. The debate over equal pay is fully justifiable in a democratic, allegedly progressive society. However, the story has run on for so long and become so heavily focused on individuals, that it runs a real danger of becoming full-on BBC naval gazing.

I overheard a female colleague today commenting on the story and - far from screaming right-on sister and burning her bra in solidarity - she spent a few minutes saying how shocked she was at the amount some of the presenters are making.

The BBC clearly needs to clean up its act and be more transparent. But, it also needs to be much more efficient and pay more reasaonable salaries across the board. This debate over inflated public-TV salaries is actually taking place across the world. I hope - for the BBC's sake - that it gets its house in order. If it doesn't, it will undoubtedly face privatisation.

Samira Ahmed presented a Newswatch yesterday that was completely devoid of any mention of what had taken up the most part of early evening on BBC News midweek, the equal pay and the BBC story.

Wouldn't that be the BBC reporting on the BBC's reporting of a BBC story about a former BBC editor.

Sharanjit Leyl is presenting Newsday from London with Rico in Singapore. She said at the end of Newsday she is in London for the next 2 months!

Victoria Fritz, currently acting as Transport Correspondent did the 5-8am The Briefing shift and Biz Live on World/NC.

Nkem Ifejika presenting the overnight tonight. Seems to be a mostly radio journalist.
