Carrie Gracie earned £135k a year as BBC China Editor. After the BBC's enforced pay disclosures of salaries over £150k, she asked for equal pay with other international 'Editors' - something she thought she'd already negotiated when she accepted the Beijing job. She was offered an additional £45k - bringing her deal up to £180k. But Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen is paid somewhere between £150k and £199,999, and North America Editor Jon Sopels get between £200k and £249,999k - so she rejected the offer, and got fed up waiting for the outcome of a BBC grievance procedure.
She wants the BBC to demonstrate "some seriousness" in dealing with this issue.
