As a media executive, journalist, documentary filmmaker, writer, podcaster, and equity advocate, Moriba’s work has earned her five Emmy Awards, an Alfred I.

Knight Journalism Fellow. Her research focused on ways to use machine learning to identify editorial patterns. She pioneered the Stanford Cable TV News Analyzer, an AI-powered tool that enhances transparency around daily editorial choices. This tool has been applied to over a decade of nearly 24–7 cable TV news broadcasts by CNN, FOX News, and MSNBC — over 270,000 hours since 2010.

This documentary won nine film festival awards and has been screened in numerous schools and privately to build awareness of childhood cancers. Before launching her media production and consulting business, Moriba held several roles at CNN from 2010-2017 as the Executive Producer of the celebrated "In America" documentary series that examined the rich complexity of the American identity.

In 2005, she was a Princeton University Ferris Professor of Journalism Fellow. Moriba graduated from the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University in 2019, focusing on journalistic innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
