About Lilah Parsons
Lilah Parsons is a distinguished broadcast journalist for BBC News, providing essential coverage on current affairs, cultural developments, and breaking news stories. Recently completing a Master of Arts in Television Journalism at City, University of London, she has pivoted her career towards high-impact news streaming for the BBC. Her transition into hard news follows an extensive and successful career in the fashion and entertainment sectors, having initially been scouted as a model for prestigious global houses including Chanel and Vivienne Westwood.
Her versatility as a broadcaster was established through high-profile roles at MTV UK, where she fronted several programmes including MTV Essentials and the network’s festival coverage. Lilah is widely recognised for her significant presence in British radio, having co-hosted the flagship Capital Breakfast show alongside Dave Berry and George Shelley, and later lead her own weekend evening show on Heart Radio. Her interview portfolio is equally impressive, featuring conversations with major international figures such as Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, P!nk, and Craig David.
Lilah brings a unique combination of live broadcasting experience and journalistic rigour to her work. Audiences book her for her polished delivery, her ability to handle complex live reporting environments, and her modern perspective on the evolving media landscape.
On stage, Lilah Parsons is best known for talks on Journalism, Media and Entertainment. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
