Joanna Gosling leaves BBC News

She took voluntary redundancy ahead of a channel merger between BBC News Channel and BBC World News.

Joanna began her broadcasting career as a trainee reporter, completing a series of work placements at Birmingham’s BBC WM, Fox FM in Oxfordshire and BBC Radio Scotland in Edinburgh, before securing her first full-time position with Independent Radio News where she read the news for Chris Moyles on Capital Radio.

She worked as a freelance reporter for Central Television and later Sky News, and had been with the BBC since August 1999.

Since then Joanna has worked on BBC Breakfast, BBC News and the BBC News at One.
