Shiulie Ghosh

Jump to

Shiulie Ghosh, a 1989 graduate of Kent University in England with a B.A. in Law, is the radiant correspondent, newsreader and Home Affairs Editor for ITV News, former home of the equally radiant Daljit Dhaliwal. Like Dhaliwal, Miss Ghosh was trained in news reporting by the BBC, and landed her first television job in 1990 at the age of 22, reporting for BBC's "East Midlands Today." She began anchoring the show the following year, becoming one of the youngest anchors in the country, though she now describes her early television reporting and newsreading as "probably rubbish". In 1993, she joined the BBC's "Country File" as a newsreader, switching over to the channel's "Newsroom South East" in 1995 as both a newsreader and reporter.

Miss Ghosh decided to take a sabbatical from the TV news "rat race" in 1997, spending nine months traveling the world with a close friend. Upon her return in 1998, she hooked up with ITV News as an anchor/reporter, where she's remained for five years and counting. She can be seen internationally on the ITV cable channel. Married since 2001 to a BBC journalist named Simon (she doesn't give his last name - her married name - out of a desire for privacy), Miss Ghosh gave birth to her first child in 2003, a daughter.

I love my job, and can't think of anything else I'd rather do. I know it's not brain surgery or rocket science, but for me it's a privilege to work on a national news program and inform the viewer. And on those rare occasions when my story is jettisoned in favor of an item on David Beckham's new haircut? Well, as I try to tell myself, there's no point being snobby about it - that's news too!
My ambition is to meet someone truly great like Nelson Mandela or, failing that, to win the lottery.
