Her programme The World Today with Maryam Moshiri airs weekdays at 7:00 pm UK time, and includes interviews with figures from the arts, culture and entertainment.

Early life and education

[edit]

Moshiri was born on 9 June 1977 in Tehran, Iran and graduated from University College London in 2000 with a BA in Italian.[1] She then completed a postgraduate diploma in Broadcast Journalism at the London College of Communication, graduating in 2001. Her sister, Nazanine Moshiri, worked as a foreign correspondent at Al Jazeera.[2]

Career

[edit]

Moshiri began her career as a business reporter for Independent Radio News[3] in July 2001 before joining the BBC in 2003.[4]

She worked for 16 years as a business news anchor on some of the BBC's flagship business programmes such as The Business Briefing, Work Life and Talking Business. Moshiri also broadcast on Radio 4, BBC Breakfast news and presented the 8pm news bulletin on BBC1. She was also a regular presenter of the afternoon and evening business news on BBC News, the corporation's 24-hour news channel.[5]

In 2019, Moshiri became a news presenter at BBC World News and BBC News. She has presented most of the global news channel's flagship programmes, including Outside Source, Impact and Global. Moshiri has also presented The Papers on BBC News. In February 2023, it was announced that she would continue as a presenter on the BBC's new news channel for both UK and international viewers launched in April.[6] In May 2023, she was part of the BBC coverage of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, being based for the majority of the week in the host city on duplex with a team in the New Broadcasting House studio.[7]

In 2023, Moshiri became the relief presenter covering the other presenters programmes The Context, The Daily Global, BBC News Now, Verified Live, as well as the BBC Weekend News and BBC News at One. While continuing to present occasionally Talking Business, reporting from across the UK and other special programmes.[8] But it was announced Yalda Hakim would be leaving the BBC later in 2023 to join Sky News,[9] and it was announced on the same day that Moshiri would take over as the main presenter of The Daily Global.[10] However, her agent announced that The Daily Global would be relaunched as The World Today in February 2024.[11]

On 6 December 2023, in a clip that went viral, Moshiri was captured with her middle finger to the camera just before starting a newscast. She apologised saying it had been a "private joke" with the staff,[12][13] and released footage showed that Moshiri had been counting down with her fingers with the floor manager, representing "1" with the middle finger.[14]

In February 2024, Moshiri began anchoring The World Today, a new weekday programme on the BBC News channel packaging the BBC's global journalism to audiences in the UK and internationally.[15] In April 2024 a clip of her impersonating a seagull on the show went viral.[16]
