But what I think it’s important here is that someone with a foreign accent got to present an hour of news. This is great in terms of diversity and on screen representation. One in six people living in the UK were born abroad. They pay the TV licence, but we rarely see them on screen. Well done to whoever asked him to present the bulletin.There have been a couple of excellent articles about this by former Al Jazeera anchor Barbara Serra (who was the first non-native English speaker to present the news during her stint at Five).
