Emily Maitlis (born 6 September 1970) is a British journalist, documentary-maker and newsreader for the BBC. She presents BBC Two's news and current affairs programme Newsnight and as of 2019 is the only Newsnight presenter not to have attended a private school. She also covers elections for the BBC in UK, US and Europe. In January 2014, she became acting political editor of Newsnight when she temporarily replaced Allegra Stratton who took maternity leave until later that year and in 2019 lead an all female line-up.
Early life and education
Maitlis was born to British parents in Canada. Her paternal grandmother was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, and Maitlis has a gold bracelet fashioned by her father using jewelry from her grandmother.
Maitlis was raised in Sheffield, Yorkshire, where she was educated at the King Edward VII School. Her mother and father worked as a psychotherapist and an academic, respectively. A Cambridge University graduate who studied at Queens' College, she speaks fluent Spanish, Italian and French, as well as some Mandarin.
Career
Initially, following her love for drama, she wanted work as a director but instead went into radio broadcasting. Prior to working in news, she was a documentary maker in Cambodia and China. She worked for the NBC network and was based in Hong Kong.
Previously, she spent six years with NBC Asia, initially as a business reporter creating documentaries, and then as a presenter in Hong Kong covering the collapse of the tiger economies in 1997. She also covered the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong with Jon Snow for Channel 4. She then moved to Sky News in the UK as a business correspondent, and then to BBC London News when the programme was relaunched in 2001.
During 2005, Maitlis appeared as the question-master on the game show The National Lottery: Come And Have A Go. She has also presented BBC Breakfast, and from May 2006 until July 2007, she presented STORYFix on BBC News, a light-hearted look at the week's news set to up-beat music.
In July 2007, Maitlis was appointed as a contributing editor to The Spectator magazine, an unpaid post. This had been approved by her immediate boss, the head of BBC Television News Peter Horrocks, but the decision was subsequently overturned by his superior, the BBC News director Helen Boaden.
In 2012, Maitlis presented the US 2012 programme on BBC One and the BBC News Channel alongside David Dimbleby, when US President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were fighting to the presidency for the US. In 2016, she began presenting a news discussion programme called This Week's World on BBC Two late afternoon on Saturdays.
Maitlis is one of the main presenters of Newsnight on BBC Two, alongside Kirsty Wark. After each show, before bed, she answers emails from viewers and in April 2019 published a book Airhead: The Imperfect Art of Making News outlining events behind the scenes on how news is produced. She also presents relief shifts on the BBC News channel, including the BBC News at Five, and may occasionally present the BBC News at One which is also broadcast on BBC One. Maitlis was a regular presenter on BBC News during 2006, joining as part of a new line-up in April to present alongside Ben Brown from 7pm to 10pm during the week, but was replaced by Joanna Gosling when she went on maternity leave. On Maitlis' return, she began presenting Mondays 2pm – 5pm alongside Jon Sopel until 2013, and currently Simon McCoy on Mondays.
Personal life
From a Jewish family, Emily Maitlis is the daughter of Professor Peter Maitlis, FRS, Emeritus Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Sheffield, and Marion Maitlis. She is married to Mark Gwynne who she met whilst she was working in Hong Kong, an investment manager, whom she has referred to as "my Catholic boy". They have two children, Milo, and Max. She is a keen runner. Emily is a WellChild Celebrity Ambassador.
Emily won Broadcast Journalist of the Year at the 2017 London Press Club Awards. Emily presented the 2019 World Jewish Relief’s Annual Dinner London's Guildhall.
Emily revealed that she had proposed to her husband whilst on holiday in Mauritius in 2000 during an interview with The Jonathan Ross Show that aired Saturday 20th April.
Stalking
During 2002, it was reported that Maitlis had been stalked for over a decade by a former platonic university friend, Edward Vines. The man would appear at her place of work. He admitted harassing Maitlis and was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, but he was released because of the time he had spent on remand, although a restraining order was imposed.
In September 2016, the same man was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for breach of a restraining order in respect of Maitlis. In January 2018, Vines was jailed for 3 years and 9 months for breaching a restraining order forbidding him to contact Maitlis. He admitted two charges of breaching the restraining order by sending two letters to Maitlis and emails and letters to her mother in 2015.
Awards
Emily won the Network Presenter of the Year 2019 award at the RTS Television Journalism Awards 2019 held at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
