BBC News anchors Martine Croxall, Karin Giannone, Kasia Madera and Annita McVeigh have launched an employment tribunal against the broadcaster after being taken off air
Four senior female BBC News anchors have launched legal action against the broadcaster, claiming a job application process was 'rigged'. Martine Croxall, Karin Giannone, Kasia Madera and Annita McVeigh allege they were snubbed over chief presenter roles, after the merging of BBC's News and World News channels.
The four women attended a preliminary hearing at the Central London Employment tribunal, after having originally launched the claim with a fifth journalist who is no longer part of the proceedings. Their witness statements add: “Four of us have been demoted, three are facing a sizeable pay cut, with a fourth having had her pay cut for half of her job. No men and no women younger than us suffered these detriments.”
