4 senior female BBC journalists launch employment tribunal, alleging job application process was "rigged" for chief presenter roles post-merger, claiming age and sex discrimination.

Four senior female BBC journalists have launched an employment tribunal against the corporation, alleging a job application process was "rigged" for chief presenter roles following the merger of BBC's News and World News channels. Martine Croxall, Karin Giannone, Kasia Madera, and Annita McVeigh claim they suffered age and sex discrimination after the reorganisation of the BBC's two TV news channels announced in July 2022. The women, aged 48-55, previously reached pay settlements with the BBC.
