Anne Dawson is a former broadcast journalist and television presenter.
After studying English at university, Salisbury-born Dawson began her career as a trainee journalist at a local newspaper before joining BBC South TodayinSouthampton as a production journalist, reporter and presenter. She also worked for TVS's regional news programme Coast to Coast.[1]
In January 1989, Dawson became a main presenter of the then-new Central News South service for the South Midlands, alongside Wesley Smith. The presenting duo became the longest-serving partnership in ITV regional news. As well as presenting Central News South, she presented non-news regional programmes including Lifeline, Central Post and Heart of the Country (as a reporter).
In 2001, Dawson turned down a presenting role on the ITV News Channel with a view to presenting national news bulletins on ITV1. Shortly afterwards, she left Central News South and began training as a teacher, during which, she taught English Literature in several secondary schools.[2].
Dawson is now a lecturer in Broadcast Journalism at the University of Gloucestershire, based at the Pittville Campus studios in Cheltenham.
