Anjali Rao

Anjali Rao is a journalist and anchor for CNN International, where she has worked since January 2006. She often presents CNN International news broadcasts live from CNN’s Asia headquarters in Hong Kong —her birthplace— and fronts CNN features such as "TalkAsia".

Background


Rao was educated in Hong Kong and at London's , where she earned a bachelor's degree with honors in Sociology and Media Studies. In an edition of TalkAsia, she described herself as being "half Indian and half Australian."

Before joining CNN, Rao worked as a producer and reporter at Hong Kong's Wharf Cable Television and worked at in Melbourne, Australia.

Alison Chiu

Alison Chiu is a and reporter on TVB News in Hong Kong. After graduating from the University of Hong Kong in 2004, she began her career as a reporter at tvbN channel in exTV first. Her first anchoring in TVB Jade is May 3, 2004 during News Roundup . Within a few weeks, she was promoted by the TVB news management to anchor the 6:30pm News at TVB Jade Channel - arguably the most-privileged post for television journalists in Hong Kong.

The move by TVB news management was somewhat a surprise to Hong Kong television viewers. Traditionally, journalists at TVB news would start from a more junior role of reporting news, and then gradually move up the seniority ladder until he/she would anchor news programmes. The process would normally take a year or a few years at best. However, Chiu was by far more inexperienced, but visually more attractive, than most of her colleagues. Many speculated that unconventional move by TVB news management was driven by Chiu's visual attractiveness, which would in turn drive viewers' figures for the 6:30pm News to an even higher level.

On 16 December 2006, she left TVB to work in a financial institution, reportedly according to the 27 December 2006 edition of Eastweek magazine.

Starting from 5 February 2007, Chiu also writes a regular column for the free local morning paper .
