After editing the University of Oxford student newspaper Cherwell, Monck began his career as an international reporter at the US network CBS, before joining UK broadcaster ITN’s News at Ten in 1992. While there, he won awards for his reporting on, among other issues, the Bosnian War and Rwanda. In 1996, Monck launched – and became managing editor of – the news service for the UK’s youngest terrestrial channel, Five. Under his stewardship, Five News picked up several awards for the quality and style of its broadcasting.
