Kirsty Wark will step down as a lead presenter of Newsnight after the next election, the BBC has announced. The corporation said the 68-year-old will continue to present BBC shows including The Reunion, Start The Week on Radio 4, as well as documentaries.
“There’s not a day when I don’t look forward to coming to the office, and every day I learn something from the team about all manner of things, from aspects of American foreign policy to how to make a great mojito. “When the time comes it will be a massive wrench. However, 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. There are exciting times ahead.”
Wark conducted an interview with Lord Macpherson following his inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence, and in America interviewed victims of Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro. She also reported and presented from Scotland after the 1996 Dunblane massacre, when gunman Thomas Hamilton shot dead 16 children and their teacher in the village primary school before turning the gun on himself.
