Bose Joins Evening Standard Line-up

Mihir Bose, who resigned as BBC sports news editor earlier this month, has taken his first job since leaving the corporation joining the London Evening Standard as a contributing journalist.

He has agreed a contract with the London daily newspaper to write a weekly interview with a prominent sporting personality.

Bose, a former Daily Telegraph journalist, joined the BBC in January 2007 as its first sports news editor.

His brief was to expand sports coverage and appear regularly on news bulletins as well as contributing to the BBC1 weekly sports magazine show Inside Sport.

Bose worked with the Evening Standard’s deputy editor, Sarah Sands, when they were at the Telegraph together, and when Sands was editing Reader’s Digest she commissioned him to write about an immigrant’s experience of Britain.

Before joining the BBC, Bose was a print journalist for 30 years, working for the Telegraph and the Sunday Times.
