List of current BBC newsreaders and reporters

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

Presenters and journalists appear across BBC television and radio, and also contribute to BBC Online.

BBC News provides television journalism to BBC network bulletins (on BBC One and BBC Two) and programmes as well as the BBC News Channel available around the world and in the United Kingdom. BBC News runs BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC World Service as part of its rolling news coverage, journalists and presenters also contribute to podcasts produced by BBC News for BBC Radio 4, as well as solely for BBC Sounds.

The BBC has over 5,500 journalists, 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.

Many presenters listed here contribute to various BBC News programmes, and some are involved in other BBC projects. Additionally, certain BBC News presenters offer relief presentation for programmes airing on these channels. It is important to note that this list excludes presenters of broadcasts simulcast from the BBC News channel on BBC One overnight or during weekday mornings on BBC Two.

The presenters listed below often contribute to various BBC News programmes and may have roles in other departments within the BBC. Additionally, some BBC News presenters not listed here occasionally fill in on programs broadcast on this channel. Noteworthy exceptions are the presenters of the domestic programmes BBC Breakfast, BBC One bulletins, and BBC Newsnight simulcast on the domestic feed, unless they are a chief presenter.

A significant change occurred on April 3, 2023, when the BBC consolidated its domestic and international rolling news channels into a unified operation. To spearhead news broadcasts on the merged channel during weekdays, the BBC appointed six (original) "chief presenters". This has since grown to twelve. Among them, nine are based in London, while two operate from Washington DC and one operates out of Salford and Singapore.

The programmes where the presenter is the lead presenter are shown here in bold. Chief presenters work across BBC One, BBC Two and primarily the BBC News Channel. The chief presenters broadcast on the channel between 12:00 and 8:00 London time during weekdays. Chief presenters will front BBC News coverage of editorially significant events on weekends including the BBC Weekend News. News broadcasts outside of these hours, and on weekends are fronted by other BBC presenters, many of which previously appeared on the domestic and international rolling news channels prior to their merger. All Chief Presenters cover BBC News programmes.
