Lynette Pearson (1950 - c. 11 December 2001), known professionally as Lynette Lithgow), was a Trinidad-born, British-based newsreader and journalist who is best remembered for her career as a newsreader for BBC News. Her first media job was as a broadcaster for Radio Television Brunei during the 1970s. During the 1980s, she moved to Britain and after working as a presenter for Midlands Today and continuity announcer for Granada Television, she moved to London as a newsreader for the national BBC News in 1988. She joined the BBC's world television service on its launch in 1991 and also presented BBC 2's Newsview. She quit the BBC in 1996 on gaining a law degree from Oxford University, and moved to the business news channel CNBC Asia (based in Singapore), where she worked until her death in Trinidad in December 2001; she was murdered along with her 83-year-old mother Maggie Lee and her British brother-in-law John Cropper at the family home in Port of Spain. She was married twice and had two children from her first marriage. Her second marriage, from 1998 until her death, was to Dominic Pearson. In 2005 the Harvard Kennedy School established a fund in Lithgow's honor to support students with an interest in journalism. ==External links== * http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1711534.stm * http://www.hks.harvard.edu/presspol/students/lithgow_internship.html 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lynette Lithgow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
