Fran Unsworth is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on December 29, 1957 in Newcastle-under-Lyme, ****. As of June 1, 2023, Fran has a net worth approximately $5 Million. In December 2005, Unsworth appeared on the BBC’s Newswatch programme, facing accusations of double standards in BBC News reporting of racial crimes when white people were the victims. Complainants suggested the BBC buried stories such as the racist murder of Kriss Donald, with comparable murders involving black victims given twelve times more coverage and the opening of an arts centre in Gateshead reported in preference to Donald’s murder. Unsworth admitted the case had not been covered sufficiently and that there had been space to do so. Her department again failed to cover the case adequately the following year. In 2011 BBC News was criticised for referring to looters in the 2011 London riots as “protesters”, even two days into the violence. In response to 62 complaints about the matter, Unsworth conceded that the BBC had been wrong to do so.

Unsworth was born on 1957 in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. She was privately educated at St Dominic’s High School for Girls, Stoke-on-Trent. She studied drama at the University of Manchester but was unable to get into a drama school so switched careers to publishing in London.

Unsworth began her broadcasting career in local radio, working at BBC Radio Leicester and BBC Radio Bristol, before going on to become producer of Radio 1’s Newsbeat. In 1990 she moved to Radio 4 and was based in Washington as a radio producer for the network during the Gulf crisis of 1990–1991. She worked as a producer on The World at One and PM while at Radio 4.

She moved to the BBC’s Newsgathering Department in 1993, where she had responsibility for UK domestic news, and was a producer and editor for the BBC One O’Clock News and the BBC Six O’Clock News. Unsworth was appointed Head of Newsgathering in January 2005.
