The EBU has announced the promotion of EBU Deputy Media Director/Head of News to Director of News.
Corbin joined the EBU in January 2020, having worked for the BBC across television and digital journalism for over 18 years, most recently as Head of News for BBC World News.
In four years at the EBU, Corbin has seen a record-breaking Eurovision News Exchange in challenging conditions, across the global pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
“Over the past four years, together with the Members and the fantastic staff I work with in Geneva and across the world, I have been proud to grow and transform the services from Eurovision News. As Director of News, I will continue this journey because how we produce the news needs to change radically and constantly,” said Corbin.
She has created a news environment rooted in technological innovation with the launch of A European Perspective (a pan-European networked newsroom); the EBU Investigative Journalism Network (which has delivered important stories such as the Missing Children of Ukraine); the transformation of the News Events service, which delivers the biggest stories to global media outlets; and a genuinely ground-breaking news report on climate journalism.
She will report directly to Noel Curran, EBU Director General.
