Occupation Correspondent

Rajesh Mirchandani is a Washington correspondent for BBC News. He can regularly be seen fronting reports from the US on the BBC's domestic rolling news channel BBC News, BBC World News, BBC One National Bulletins and on BBC Radio. He also periodically presents BBC World News America, from Washington D.C. He could more recently be seen reporting from Hollywood on the 2008 Oscars with Susanna Reid a few days before the event itself. Mirchandani was educated at Bristol University.

Mirchandani moved from his previous position of Midlands correspondent to Washington in late 2007, after presenting some relief shifts on BBC News earlier in the year, and was one of a group of reporters who travelled the country for the trial run of the BBC One program The One Show in August 2006.[1] He carried out a variety of unusual tasks for the program, as well as more serious reports, including bathing in seaweed to investigate possible health benefits.[2]. He did not feature in the second run of the show due to his departure to America.
