Kasia’s original stories have featured across BBC News platforms, including BBC Network News, BBC Breakfast, Radio 4’s From Our Own Correspondent, Ukrainecast and the World Service Global News podcasts, as well as BBC News Online and digital platforms like BBC IPlayer. Kasia is a regular presenter of Outside Source, the graphics-based explainer format programme which is popular on digital platforms. For over ten years she was a regular presenter on BBC Newsday, the fast-paced Asia facing tv breakfast programme. Interrupting scheduled programming on BBC One, Kasia broke the news of Nelson Mandela’s death in 2013.
