Liz Corbin

Liz Corbin is Director of News at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), a career public service journalist and a leading advocate for trusted, high-quality journalism.



Her tenure at the EBU has coincided with one of the most demanding periods for global news. She has overseen the radical expansion of the Eurovision News Exchange and led operations covering major global events, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the deaths of Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Francis, and two US presidential elections.



Liz has driven a focused culture of innovation in the EBU newsroom. She launched an AI-powered exchange of online news content called A European Perspective; developed the EBU Investigative Journalism Network; strengthened the Eurovision News Events service for major stories where they happen; and commissioned influential EBU News reports on climate journalism and the impacts of generative AI on trusted news.



In partnership with WAN-IFRA, Liz co-founded the News Integrity in the Age of AI initiative and its FACTS IN : FACTS OUT advocacy campaign, calling for AI tools that process news content fairly, transparently and accurately.



Before joining the EBU, Liz spent 18 years at the BBC, most recently as Head of News at BBC World News. She also served as Editor of BBC Reality Check, leading a major team expansion, and as BBC Singapore Bureau Editor, where she built an integrated, multi-platform newsroom.
