Mishal Husain – Presenter, £275K

Excellence must be part of the job description at BBC because most people who work at the network are savants. And Mishal Husain clearly belongs to that category. Since joining the BBC, she’s worked as a presenter on “BBC World News,” the Washington correspondent, and the main news anchor during the Iraqi invasion.

In 2015, Husain received the London Press Club’s ‘Broadcaster of the Year Award.’ In 2022, she was the main Sunday presenter of “BBC News at Ten” and “BBC Weekend News.” She also served as a relief presenter of “BBC News at Six.” And her £275K salary must make juggling those roles worth it.
