During the year 2000, Diana appeared for the 24 Hours news and was awarded the prestigious Gemini Award for being the Best News Anchor. Diana was the first <a href="/biography/diana-swain">woman</a> to win this award. After receiving this esteemed and honorable Gemini Award, Diana worked for the show The National, where she anchored the program for many years. An avowed sports fan, Diana has also served as an Olympic Host for CBC Sports for three Olympic Games:  Beijing in 2008, Sochi in 2014 and Pyeonchang in 2018. Her investigative journalism includes investigation of Scouts Canada's handling of allegations of sex abuse, the investigation of millions of tax-dollars of Canada hidden in offshore accounts and the response of Canada's military to the returning soldiers on their needs on how they are struggling with Stress Disorder due to trauma.

In 2010, when Diana was appointed as Senior Correspondent for CBC news’ investigative unit she was quoted as saying “Reporting is in my blood. It’s what I love doing and the opportunity to really get into stories is something, I think, that most journalists really envy. Daily news is fantastic work, but on some levels can be very frustrating because you don’t get to get into the story like you do when you have a little more time. For journalists like me this is a dream job where I’ll be doing investigative journalism.”

In addition to the Gemini award, Diana has received many other honors. Her ground-breaking investigation into Scouts Canada won the first-ever Canadian Hillman prize in 2012, as well the Prix Justica award from the Canadian Bar Association. Most recently, in 2016, Diana and her team won awards from the Canadian Association of Journalists and the Radio, Television and Digital News Association for work that included an examination of the way Canadian post-secondary institutions manage allegations of assault on campus.

Diana is quick to credit her mentors, saying “I think without the mentors that I’ve looked to, I would be sitting here talking to you about regrets; things that I didn’t have the courage to do, to try, to test myself.”
