Emily Mailis may leave BBC

Emily Maitlis, who has worked for the BBC for 20 years, has decided to leave the NewsNight show.

Emily immediately said she would no longer be the show’s main anchor. Emily said it was hard to leave the company she had worked for 20 years, which was a long time. She wrote about her decision on Twitter as she began creating a new podcast and radio show for Global and LBC.

The political journalist has released specific information, such as the fact that she and her BBC colleague Jon Sopel are going to make a new podcast with Global.

She said the BBC’s Emily and Jon Sopel will be releasing a new podcast soon. Dinosofos, who will also be the executive producer of the podcast, will be in charge of the podcast’s first appearance on Global. She said they were very happy that Global gave them the opportunity to make the project as big and ambitious as possible. This was a great opportunity to create something that everyone cares about.

How I grew up and went to school

Maitlis was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to British Jewish parents. Her paternal grandmother was a Jewish refugee who had to leave Nazi Germany. She is the daughter of Professor Emeritus of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Sheffield Professor Peter Maitlis FRS and psychotherapist Marion Maitlis.

She grew up in the English city of Sheffield. She attended the state-run King Edward VII School in Sheffield and then Queens’ College in Cambridge to study English. She was the only Newsnight host not to attend private school as of 2019.

Career

Maitlis’ love of drama made her want to become a director at first, but eventually she went to radio. Before working in the news, she made documentaries in China and Cambodia. She was based in Hong Kong and worked for the NBC network.

She worked for TVB News and NBC Asia in Hong Kong for six years. First she was a business reporter making documentaries, then she was a presenter in Hong Kong covering the fall of the tiger economies in 1997.

She also spoke with Jon Snow about the transfer of power over Hong Kong for Channel 4. She then moved to Sky News in the UK as a business reporter. In 2001, when BBC London News was relaunched, she moved there as well.

BBC career

Maitlis was the person responsible for questions about the game show The National Lottery: Come and Have a Go in 2005. Between 2006 and 2016 she was a regular presenter on the BBC News Channel, along with Ben Brown and Jon Sopel. She also presented BBC Breakfast, and from May 2006 to July 2007 she presented STORYFix on BBC News, a fun take on the week’s news with upbeat music.

Maitlis was hired in July 2007 as an unpaid contributing editor for The Spectator magazine. This was approved by her then boss, the head of BBC Television News Peter Horrocks. However, his boss, BBC News director Helen Boaden, later changed the decision.

In 2012, Maitlis and David Dimbleby hosted the 2012 US election coverage on BBC One and the BBC News Channel. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney ran for US presidency. In 2016, she was the presenter of This Week’s World, a news discussion program on BBC Two that aired on Saturdays in the late afternoon.

Maitlis was one of the main presenters of BBC Two’s Newsnight, along with Kirsty Wark and Emma Barnett. She first joined the show as a fill-in host in 2006. After Evan Davis left the show in 2018, she worked her way up to the main anchor. She read viewers’ emails after every show and before going to bed. In April 2019, she released a book called “Airhead: The Imperfect Art of Making News.” It’s about how TV news comes about.

Interview with Prince Andrew

Maitlis spoke to Prince Andrew, Duke of York, in November 2019, about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, an American sex offender and pedophile who died in August while waiting to appear in court for sex trafficking. The interview was featured on the BBC’s Newsnight on November 16, 2019. Partly because of how poorly he fared in this interview, Prince Andrew later resigned from his royal duties. Her interview with Prince Andrew won Interview of the Year and Scoop of the Year at the 2020 RTS Television Journalism Awards in February 2020, and Maitlis is rumored to be making a script drama about this interview with Blueprint Pictures.

As of 2019, Maitlis was one of the BBC’s news and current affairs workers who made the most money. Her salary was between £260,000 and £264,999. In July 2020, a group called Defund posted the BBC billboards showing the salaries of Maitlis and Gary Lineker, asking, “Are you still paying?

Maitlis began hosting the BBC podcast Americast in 2020 with Jon Sopel, the BBC’s editor for North America. The podcasts were originally about the 2020 election. They feature analysis and interviews with people from all over the political scene. Americast received good reviews and did well on the iTunes chart, and at one point was the most listened to podcast of any kind in the UK.

Post BBC career

On February 22, 2022, Maitlis told the BBC she was leaving. She had just signed a deal with LBC owner Global to start a daily podcast and radio show with ex-BBC journalist Jon Sopel.

In a speech at the Edinburgh TV Festival in 2022, Maitlis warned journalists against self-censorship because they didn’t want to include criticism from the public.
