Audiotrain Celebrates Women in Audio - Kirsty Wark (Monday)

One of the UK’s most formidable and versatile journalists Kirsty Wark is best known as an anchor on BBC2's Newsnight but has recently made a triumphant "return to audio" as the presenter of The Reunion on Radio 4.

She joined the BBC in 1976 as a graduate researcher and produced radio programmes for BBC Scotland before moving to Radio 4’s World at One and PM. Moving to television in 1983, she was one of the first television journalists to arrive on the scene when PAN AM Flight 103 was blown up in the skies above Lockerbie and two years later, she locked horns with Margaret Thatcher in a headline making interview.

In addition to current affairs experience, Kirsty presents arts and cultural programmes and has interviewed everyone from Harold Pinter to Madonna.

Kirsty has several major accolades to her name including BAFTA Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting and Journalist of the Year. Kirsty will be in conversation with Louise Adamson.
