An award-winning editor, Rozina Breen, who joined TBIJ from the BBC, has a reputation for multi-platform collaboration, innovation, and commissioning through a diverse lens. TBIJ is the UK’s largest non-profit investigative newsroom. It is fierce in its investigative work: shining a light on injustice; exposing wrongdoing; and working to ensure fairer and better real-world outcomes. The Bureau’s world-class, award-winning team has unparalleled knowledge across health, big tech, corruption, inequality, labour rights, the environment, and community-led journalism. It is mandated to go beyond the headline in order to spark real-world change.

At the BBC, Breen ran the UK’s largest network newsroom outside London where, as head of news at BBC 5 Live, she oversaw coverage of the EU referendum, the election of Donald Trump, the Grenfell Tower fire, and the terror attacks in London and Manchester. She commissioned award-winning podcasts including Brexitcast, You, Me and the Big C, The Sista Collective, and Hope High, which won an Orwell Prize for Exposing Britain’s Social Evils. She also launched the DigiHub for the BBC World Service, growing BBC News’s digital footprint across the world, and My Bradford, a citizen journalism-focused hyperlocal that won a regional press award in its first year.
