BBC News presenter takes legal action in high-profile employment tribunal

BBC News presenter Martine Croxall is taking legal action BBC presenter Martine Croxall is taking legal action against the broadcaster after being off air for over a year. Croxall will be taking the BBC to an employment tribunal which is scheduled to take place on May 1. The two-day hearing in London is likely to be one of the most high-profile cases of tribunal for BBC in recent history. BBC previously lost a case in 2020 with Newswatch host Samira Ahmed over gender pay.

Croxall was one of five senior female journalists – Karin Giannone, Geeta Guru-Murthy, Kasia Madera, and Annita McVeigh – who was not promoted to land a chief presenter role after the BBC’s international and domestic news channels merged last year. She has not been on air since March 2023, along with Giannone and Madera. McVeigh and Guru-Murthy have returned to the news in recent weeks after chief presenter vacancies became available.
