Mike Nolan is 'a former deputy head of Sky News and former senior foreign editor at ITN' and was the editor of British Satellite News, a Foreign Office funded propaganda outlet in 2006.[1]

ITN

While at ITN in 1992 Nolan accompanied two injured ITN reportes back from Sarajevo:[2]

A SERBIAN surgeon escaped from Sarajevo to Britain yesterday with two injured ITN newsmen whose wounds he had treated. Dr Milomir Ninkovic arrived at Heathrow airport from Zagreb on a private plane chartered by ITN to bring home its cameramen Nigel Thomson and Jim Dutton... Yesterday Mike Nolan, ITN's senior foreign editor, who arrived at Heathrow with the men, would not give details about their escape. He said there was nothing illegal in bringing the doctor into Britain. Dr Ninkovic would only stay the weekend and then travel to Innsbruck to meet up with his family and take up a new surgeon's post.

BSN

Nolan was appointed to BSN in May 2001.[3]
