In 1981 she returned to Toronto to join the CBC Radio newsroom. In 1984 Durham moved to the UK continuing to report for CBC Radio. She also became a regular contributor to the BBC. During this time she covered revolution and war as Europe's communist regimes fell, and its borders were redrawn.

In 1991 Durham joined CBC television as Newsworld's first London based correspondent. Three years later she became one of CBC's first video journalists, shooting her own stories. Her trademark became intimate stories about people in extraordinary circumstances. Durham covered the break up of Yugoslavia from all sides of the conflict focussing on the plight of people forced out of their homes, victims of ethnic cleansing. Her series from Kosovo culminated in the short film, The Truth About Rajmonda A KLA Soldier Lies for the Cause, an investigation into why a central figure in the series persistently lied about her personal history. The film was broadcast in at least a dozen countries and nominated for a Gemini award in Canada. It is used internationally as a case study of war and propaganda in leading universities.
