Jane Hill (born 10 June 1969) is a British newsreader working for the BBC. She is one of the main presenters on the BBC News Channel, the corporation's 24-hour rolling news service, and is a relief anchor for the BBC News at One, as well as regularly presenting the BBC Weekend News. She also occasionally presents The World Tonight on BBC Radio 4.
Born in Sussex, she was raised in London. She first joined her local BBC Radio station as a junior music correspondent, but knew little about the local indie bands.
After studying politics at Queen Mary, University of London, Hill worked at the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington DC before joining the BBC on a full-time basis at the end of 1991.
After completing the BBC journalism training programme, Hill joined BBC Radio Five Live at the station's launch, remaining there as a producer for 18 months. She moved into television following completion of the BBC Regional News Trainee Scheme. She went on to join BBC Radio Berkshire and South Today as a presenter, before moving later to national news.
At midnight's stroke
when prophets feed
My karma catches
this saint's disease
And I won't listen
to this heavenly facade
I've stopped my flight
halfway to god
Why should I fly
the entire way
when a thousand lost souls
haven't been paid?
I've stopped my fight
