BBC’s Jane Hill Tops Poll Of Female Newsreaders
The BBC’s Jane Hill has come out on top in Up To Speed’s own popularity poll of British female newsreaders, with 18% of our blog’s readers voting her the best presenter.
BBC's Jane Hill Voted Your Favourite Female Newsreader
We started the poll when BBC bosses were being accused of ageism by female newsreaders who felt they were dropped sooner than their male counterparts.
The results of the poll show our readers aren’t necessarily most impressed by the most highly paid or prominent women who read the news.
Hot on Jane’s heels was Susanna Reid, of BBC Breakfast, with 16% of the vote.
Katie Derham of ITV News came third with 9%.
In fourth place was Fiona Bruce, who is perhaps Britain’s most high profile news and programme presenter. Fiona received 7% of the votes cast by readers of the Up To Speed blog.
Two of Susanna Reid’s co-presenters on Breakfast, Kate Silverton and Sian Williams share 5= with 6% of the votes each.
Coming up just behind them in seventh place is another face from the BBC and one of Jane Hill’s colleagues on rolling news, Joanna Gosling.
No fewer than five female anchors share the next slot with 4% of the vote each. So, in equal 8th place we have Mary Nightingale of ITV along with her colleague Nina Hossain, up against Natsaha Kaplinsky of Five and two more BBC presenters Mishal Hosain and Dani Sinha.
Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis is holding her own against a brace of GMTV stars – Kate Garraway and Emma Crosby – for fourteenth equal place in the poll.
Kirsty Wark of Newsnight, ITV’s Julie Etchingham and Charlotte Hawkins of Sky each received 1% of the vote and shared 17th place.
