Since January 2018 she has been [1] Director, News & Current Affairs for BBC News.[2] She was appointed in succession to James Harding. Before then she served in various senior positions in the BBC, including director of the BBC World Service Group. Previously she was Acting Director of News at the BBC from November 2012 until August 2013 and a member of the BBC's executive board. In 2013 she was appointed Deputy Director of News and Current Affairs.[3] Early life and educationA native of in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, Unsworth attended St Dominic's High School for Girls, an independent grammar school in Stoke-on-Trent.[3][4] She studied drama at the University of Manchester. CareerUnsworth began her broadcasting career in local radio, working at BBC Radio Leicester and BBC Radio Bristol, before going on to become Producer of Radio 1's Newsbeat. In 1990 she moved to Radio 4 and was based in Washington as a radio producer for the network during the Gulf crisis of 1990–1991. She worked as a producer on The World at One and PM while at Radio 4.{{cn|date=September 2017}} She moved to the BBC's Newsgathering Department in 1993, where she had responsibility for UK domestic news, and was a producer and editor for the BBC One O'Clock News and the BBC Six O'Clock News. Unsworth was appointed Head of Newsgathering in January 2005.[5] In December 2005, Unsworth appeared on the BBC's Newswatch programme, facing accusations of double standards in BBC News reporting of racial crimes when white people were the victims. Complainants suggested the BBC buried stories such as the racist murder of Kriss Donald, with comparable murders involving black victims given twelve times more coverage and the opening of an arts centre in Gateshead reported in preference to Donald's murder. Unsworh admitted the case had not been covered sufficiently and that there had been space to do so.[6] Her department again failed to cover the case adequately the following year.[7][8] In 2011 BBC News was criticised for referring to looters in the 2011 London riots as "protesters", even two days into the violence.[9] In response to 62 complaints about the matter, Unsworth conceded that the BBC had been wrong to do so.[10] In November 2012, Unsworth was appointed Acting Director of News after Helen Boaden stepped aside while Nick Pollard prepared his report into the BBC's non-coverage of the burgeoning Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal.[11][12] She ceased this role in August 2013 and was appointed Deputy Director of News and Current Affairs.[3] In November 2013, Unsworth was replaced as Head of Newsgathering by Jonathan Munro.[13] Unsworth was president of the Society of Editors between 2011–12, and is a board member of the organisation.[14][15][16] She is also a board member of the European Union's Erasmus Mundus programme.[17][18] In August 2014, Unsworth ordered helicopter filming of a police raid on a mansion belonging to Cliff Richard. The coverage led to the singer suing the BBC for breach of privacy.[19] On 8 May 2018 The Guardian reported that, "Sir Cliff Richard is seeking a payment of at least £560,000 from the BBC following the broadcaster’s coverage of a police raid at his home in 2014". In July 2018 Sir Cliff won his case for damages.
