Billionaires' Daughter Gets BBC Job With Help From Social Charity
Billionaires' Daughter Gets BBC Job With Help From Social Mobility Charity
BBC News 11 DEC 2022.
The daughter of one of Britain’s richest men seems an unlikely candidate for charitable help.
But Azadeh Moshiri has credited her time at a charity aimed at helping disadvantaged journalists for securing her new job at the BBC.
Ms Moshiri, whose father is best known for his ownership of Everton football club, took part in the mentoring scheme of the John Schofield Trust, which aims to improve the social mobility of journalists.
She has recently been promoted to an “on air reporter and senior journalist” for BBC World News. She said her career "would never have happened” without the charity's mentoring scheme, despite her mother being a familiar name on the BBC, Sky and CNN.
Ms Moshiri’s father is Farhad Moshiri, who bought Everton, one of the grandest names in English football, in 2016 and is worth, according to Forbes, £2.4 billion. His reign at Everton has been hugely controversial, with the club on its seventh permanent manager in six years and just hovering above the relegation zone, having just avoided the drop last season.
