Where Are They Now.....?

The archive view of publication of old 1996 BBC News 24 and BBC World schedules by itsrobert in a 2015 thread got me thinking........where are they now?

George Eykyn
Valerie Sanderson
Anya Sitaram
Shahnaz Pakravan
David Robertson
Tim Sebastian
Nici Marx
Nik Gowing
Philip Hayton
Steve McCormack
Andy Webb
Lord Stephen Cole

And some others that spring to mind

Anna Leuchers (ITN)
Teymoor Nabili
Linette Tye
Carla Garapedian
Octavia Nasr
Olienka Frienkl
Peter Sissons

Valerie Sanderson still presents "The Newsroom" on radio 4. Tim Sebastian is retired but recently appeared on a couple of hardtalk specials marking the shows 25th anniversary. Peter Sissions is retired, as is Phil Hayton (who never appeared on TV again after refusing to work with Kate Silverton).

Andy Webb runs his own production company. He was also a reporter on Watchdog in the 1990s.

The Newsroom is a World Service programme, which airs on Radio 4 overnight.

Tim Sebastian currently hosts the interview show "Conflict Zone" on DW.

Octavia Nasr largely left television behind following CNN firing her as CNN International's Middle East editor after a 2010 tweet praising Hezbollah's Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah. She is still a writer writing for her own website and Twitter account.
Teymoor Nabili moved to Aljazeera English and was one of the presenters from its Kuala Lumpur studio. He was also the inaugural presenter of AJE's "101 East" and "Talk to Aljazeera" He is now at Channel News Asia and is a CEO of a news start up dedicated to the ASEAN region called "The Signal"

Here's a few more...

Graham Miller
Andrew Harvey
Owen Thomas
Leyla Deybelge

Graham Miller now works in PR. Here's his website.

Owen Thomas works for Bloomberg Television UK and Andrew Harvey retired and now does media training through his own company HarveyLeach

David Robertson went on to co-anchor BBC Reporting Scotland with Jackie Bird and Sally Magnusson but cost cutting meant he left the BBC in 2008. I seem to remember he left quite quickly once the decision was made (possibly announced it on air too).

He also had a pen trick... (excuse the language from Limmy's Show)




Nik Gowing retired from BBC World News a couple of years ago, but said he might pop up if necessary.

Stephen Cole , I believe, went to Al Jazeera when it launched.
