Orla Guerin MBE (born 15 May 1965) is an Irish correspondent currently working for BBC News based in Cairo. ==Biography and career== Guerin was born in Dublin. A journalism graduate from Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), she qualified as a journalist in 1985 with a Certificate in Journalism from the College of Commerce in Dublin.

Guerin joined Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) in 1987 and was its correspondent in eastern Europe from 1990–1994, travelling widely and reporting from eastern and central Europe, the former Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Sarajevo. Guerin's reports from eastern Europe for RTÉ Radio won her a Jacob's Award in 1992. She left RTÉ to run as a Labour Party candidate in the 1994 elections to the European Parliament. A political novice, Guerin had been hand-picked by then Labour Party leader Dick Spring. Even though she was not selected at the party convention, Spring insisted that she be added to the ballot.

That same year she was awarded the News and Factual Award by Women in Film and Television UK. She became the BBC's Africa correspondent, based in Johannesburg, in 2006.
