BBC News Channel Presenters Take Legal Action Citing Age & Gender Discrimination — Update
BBC News channel presenter Martine Croxall has commenced legal action against the British broadcaster after being off air for more than a year.
Croxall was one of five senior female journalists who failed to land a Chief Presenter role when the BBC merged its international and domestic news channels last year. Croxall, Karin Giannone, Geeta Guru-Murthy, Kasia Madera, and Annita McVeigh challenged the BBC’s recruitment process as part of an internal complaints procedure. The BBC News channel’s Chief Presenter team includes Matthew Amroliwala, Ben Brown, Christian Fraser, Lucy Hockings, Maryam Moshiri, and Sally Bundock in the UK, with Sumi Somaskanda and Caitríona Perry in Washington D.C. and Steve Lai in Singapore.
