We don’t usually spend time recognising the off-screen workforce,- who’re actually those who make this programme what it’s.
So we needed to take a second to say our departing editor Ben de Pear, who has led the programme for the final decade.
Below Ben’s editorship, Channel 4 Information has received extra awards than at any time in its historical past.
Baftas and Royal Tv Society awards on this nation have been accompanied by awards at Cannes, Worldwide Emmys in the USA, and even an Oscar nomination.
That mirrored Ben’s willpower to dedicate an enormous period of time to overseas information, particularly the affect of conflict on civilians in Syria, human rights abuses in Sri Lanka, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
He’s additionally behind Channel 4 Information’ expose of the British political consultants Cambridge Analytica, the usage of Fb information to control elections world wide, and our shift to presenting the information dwell from across the UK.
Ben’s been an inspiring journalist to work for and we simply needed to publicly want him all one of the best and to say thanks.
We ambushed him with cake and had a piece assembly afterwards.
