News about Stephen Sackur

In two days from appearing at speaking events outside the corporation in September, BBC World Affairs editor John Simpson raked in more than £20,000. Although only Mr Simpson, 78, was in the over £10k class, there were six journalists in the second highest category, '£5k-£10k'. Naga Munchetty (above center), a member of BBC Breakfast, was paid this amount to act as a host at the Business Women Awards, among those in this second highest category. When Amol Rajan (above right) appeared as a speaker for publication company Citywire, he earned his £10,000 to £10,000 price, as did HARDtalk host Stephen Sackur (below center) when he served as a moderator for 'Silicon Valley'. Huw Edwards (below right) made more than 50,000 on top of his large BBC salary in a month for this sort of outside work in a previous disclosure.
