BBC Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark will step down from the show after the next election, the corporation has announced, bringing to an end her 30 year run on the topical series
Kirsty Wark, the longest-serving presenter of Newsnight, is set to leave the show after 30 years. The BBC announced that she will step down as a lead presenter after the next general election.
Kirsty shared her feelings about leaving, saying: "Today I am celebrating 30 years presenting Newsnight. It is an enormous privilege to be involved in such a rigorous, creative programme with a wonderful, talented, bunch of colleagues actually many bunches over the years." "Last year I spoke to both to the director-general Tim Davie and to Stewart and signalled my desire to end my three-decade run on the show after the next election, and that's the plan."However, she reassured fans by saying: "I'll be leaving Newsnight but not the BBC. I'll still be presenting The Reunion and Start The Week on Radio 4, TV documentaries too, as well as finishing, finally, my third novel.
Tim Davie paid tribute to Kirsty, saying: "Generations of Newsnight viewers have benefitted from Kirsty's authority, her razor-sharp insight and her journalistic flair. She sets the standard for engaging yet authoritative presenting. I speak on behalf of the whole BBC when I thank her for the past 30 years.
