Jane MacSorley

Producer, Investigative Journalist and Host of 'I Am Not Nicholas' Podcast

Jane MacSorley is an award-winning producer and investigative journalist. Joining the BBC in 1994, she worked with news and current affairs for over 20 years making a range of programmes from undercover in one of Britain’s top private prisons to exposing serious failings in the UK’s childcare industry. In 2002, Jane uncovered the story of the suspicious deaths of the four army recruits at the Deepcut barracks in Surrey making four TV investigations over the years for BBC. In 2017 she produced the Panorama investigation, Cadet Abuse Cover-Up which led to the conviction of a retired naval officer. He was jailed in 2021 for sexually abusing schoolboys over 40 years before. 

Jane wrote and presented the Audible Original Death at Deepcut. The launch of the podcast series in June 2021 made national headlines. It unearthed a fifth death of a trainee at the camp that had been kept a secret for 20 years. Jane was the undercover journalist for a 2021 BBC N Ireland documentary into a fertility clinic. The Belfast clinic has since closed down and remains the focus of an investigation by the Police Service of Northern Ireland. Recently the programme won an RTS award. 

Responsible for bringing the full story of US fugitive Nicholas Rossi to the podcast world, Jane was the lead journalist and narrator on the 9-part Audible Original I Am Not Nicholas made by BBC Studios. The series has been Audible's best selling true crime podcast since West Cork.

Jane is currently working closely on two true crime TV investigations that will be very high profile when they are broadcast/released in 2024.
