More About

In 2019, Sabet Choudhury chaired the Inclusive Leadership Now! conference, which aimed to “engage and encourage the next leaders of Bristol and the surrounding area.” In 2020, Sabet presented a number of awards to students in primary and secondary schools across South Gloucestershire to celebrate their educational achievements, including sporting, heroic, and eco-friendly triumphs.

Journalist/Reporter

Sabet Choudhury was always interested in journalism. He started out at his local newspaper in Gloucestershire in the 90s before becoming a freelance reporter for larger national newspapers and radio stations. He would go on to become a regular broadcaster for BBC Radio Gloucestershire. He would then go on to work for 5Live on Up All Night and their Breakfast show.

Sabet’s big television break came in 2005 when he became a reporter for BBC Points West, a role he kept until 2021. Since 2022, he has worked for ITV News West Country on various regional news programmes.

Sabet has reported on some serious subjects across the BBC on documentaries, including Sleeping Rough for the Victoria Derbyshire programme, as well as on Amazon drivers, transplants and trafficking and pet influencers for Inside Out West (2016-2019). He has also reported on the slightly more uplifting Bog Snorkelling and Great Big Cheese Chase for BBC One.

EDI

Sabet is particularly passionate and interested in ethnic minority communities and their hardships. This stemmed from a personal project, where he donated a kidney to his mother after she told him she only had a few months to live. The donation would be covered across BBC programmes, highlighting why there are so few donations from ethnic minority people – only 3.5% at the time the donation occurred, and what this has done to bolster the illegal organ trade. His interest in minorities doesn’t stop there; he is now interested in the history of slavery and its links back to him, and he often presents and talks about topics such as the Black Lives Matter movement.
