List of current BBC newsreaders and reporters

This is a list of newsreaders and reporters currently employed by BBC Television and BBC Radio.

BBC News employs many presenters and correspondents who appear across television, radio and contribute to BBC Online. BBC News provides television journalism to BBC One bulletins and the rolling news channels BBC News (International) and the BBC News Channel in the United Kingdom. In addition, BBC News runs rolling news network BBC Radio 5 Live and the international BBC World Service. They also contribute to strands across BBC Radio 4 and bulletins on all radio networks.

The BBC has over 200 correspondents based both in the United Kingdom and abroad. BBC appointments can be short- or long-term; for example, reporter Peter Bowes revealed on BBC News (broadcast live on 8 September 2020) that Los Angeles has been his home for 25 years.

BBC News (TV channel)

Many of the presenters below also work on other BBC News output, and some also work in other parts of the BBC. Other BBC News presenters also provide relief presentation on programmes broadcast on this channel. Not included in this list are the presenters of the domestic programmes BBC Breakfast and the BBC One bulletins that are simulcast on the domestic feed of the channel.

On 3 April 2023, the BBC merged its domestic and international rolling news channels into a single rolling news operation. The BBC appointed six "chief presenters", five of which are based in London and one in Washington DC, to lead news broadcasts on the newly merged channel during weekdays. The chief presenters broadcast on the channel between 12:00 GMT and 23:00 GMT and 02:00 GMT and 05:00 GMT during weekdays. News broadcasts outside of these hours are fronted by other BBC presenters, many of which previously appeared on the domestic and international rolling news channels prior to their merger.

Foreign correspondents

The list below reflects correspondents' normal postings. During major international events, such as the Libyan crisis of 2011 and the Gaza conflict of 2014, foreign correspondents may be redeployed from their normal bases to cover such stories temporarily on a rota (when they are usually branded "World Affairs Correspondents" or when in Europe "Europe Correspondents"), before returning to their normal base. This can also happen to cover holidays mainly during July and August, and over Christmas periods.
