"BBC legend Kate Adie was hit by Chinese bullet in Beijing massacre – but kept quiet". Express.co.uk . Retrieved 20 March 2022. Don't bother reading this if you want to find out about Ms Adie's personal life. I did find it interesting for fleshing-out the news stories that were on the telly as I was growing up, in particular Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. In 2017 Adie was appointed as ambassador for SSAFA, the UK’s oldest military charity. [57] Adie is currently also an ambassador for SkillForce [58] and the non-governmental organisation Farm Africa. [59] In July 2018 Adie became an Ambassador for the medical charity Overseas Plastic Surgery Appeal. [60] Adie's autobiography is an interesting though unsurprising walk through her career, but she keeps her life at arm's length. She leaves you with the impression of a talented, focused journalist (which we knew already) with a sharp mind and rigorous principles.

Bevan, Darren (3 September 2017). "BBC veteran Kate Adie on her role in Kiwi director's new movie". Stuff. This isn't an autobiography but more a memoir. Adie shows us round her career, but we walk behind her, not beside her. Adie the journalist is revealed in wonderful detail. Kate the woman is as much a stranger when you've finished the book as when you started. We seem to be living through a time where there are threats to journalists everywhere, whether it's repression or censorship, and it's hugely important to recognise that the intention of journalism is to tell it as it is and we need to do that more than ever now.Von diesen Reisen erzählt Katie Adie nur wenig, aber das ist auch nicht nötig, denn das kann man sich in den Archiven der BBC immer wieder ansehen. sie erzählt von einem Mädchen, das schon früh die Dinge zu hinterfragen begann und sich gegen alles auflehnte, was ihre Freiheit einengte. Die als junge Frau fast durch Zufall zur BBC kam und sich dort erst behaupten musste. Her career with the BBC began, after graduation, as a station assistant at BBC Radio Durham. From 1971 to 1975 she was at Radio Bristol, where she presented 'Womanwise' on Fridays at 11am.

She was Chief News Correspondent for BBC News between 1989 and 2003, during which time she reported from war zones around the world.

It's an extended 'From our Own Correspondent', really, the Correspondent being Kate Adie, and she's reporting on the Japes that she experienced in her rather exciting and privileged life. She had an independent school education at Sunderland Church High School, and then studied at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where she obtained a degree in Scandinavian Studies and performed in several Gilbert and Sullivan productions. At university she got to know the BBC presenter Marian Foster, who was president of the Gilbert and Sullivan society. [15] Found: Productions". Leopard Films.

Summary

It is harder to define what the action is about, and she often admits defeat. Of Bosnia, she says: 'It was as if someone had decided to play a lethal board game and failed to produce a set of rules. However, break an invisible rule, and you got blown off the board.' Libya 'wasn't like a country, it was a kind of mad boarding-school where the rules were unknown but the punishments fearful'. Adie's role as a BBC television journalist covering the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in Princes Gate, central London, is included in 6 Days. The role was played by actress Abbie Cornish.
