BBC News | Presenter & Correspondent Reshuffles

I haven't seen or heard Sophie reporting for a while and she hasn't tweeted since 1st November (through she was not a regular tweeter before then) so prehaps she is on a break before she takes up the LA role.

She reported just a few weeks ago in London as News Correspondent, around the time Peter Bowes was in London, who is now back in LA.

Rajini Vaidyanathan is to become the new South Asia correspondent based in Delhi - Sangita Myska is obviously only there temporarily.

Yogita Limaye is also now India corespondent taking over from Sanjoy Majumder who has moved to editorial duties.

Rajini is presenting from Delhi as I write this.

Another recent posting is Orla Guerin is now International Correspondent based in Istanbul, moving from covering the Middle East from Cairo.

Sophie has just appeared on the evening news from California and has updated her twitter to say LA correspondant.

She needs to recalibrate her spellcheck.........

It seems Jane Hill is no longer with the bbc. I emailed her bbc email address and received a response saying email has been rejected as email address no longer exists!

I dont think that counts as a verifiable source that someone is no longer with a company, didn’t the BBC do a thing a while back making most of their presenters not employed by them directly? Also her twitter still says he’s a journalist with them, and given how long she’s been part of the team for, she would probably get a send off live on air like they have done with Matthew (when he moved to World), Carrie (when she was going to China), Gavin and Maxine (when they were directly leaving presenting duties at the BBC), to name a few.

People don't have to have a big on-air do about leaving if they don't want to.

Jackie Bird is testament to this. Leaving after just short of 30 years with no acknowledgment whatsoever.

Sophie Long was introduced on BBC World last night as "our North America Correspondent ".
