International Reporting

Emma’s coverage focuses on how conflicts affect people, governments, businesses, markets and international trade.

Her reporting has covered developments involving conflict zones, military operations, border security, ports, shipping routes, energy infrastructure and international markets.

Reporting Philosophy

Emma believes war reporting should be clear, factual and transparent.

She separates confirmed information from claims made by governments, military authorities and other parties.

When information cannot be independently verified, it is identified as unconfirmed or attributed to its source.

She does not knowingly publish fabricated eyewitness accounts or invented quotations.

Ground Reporting

NYFT ground-reporting coverage may use correspondent reporting, official statements, verified photographs and videos, satellite imagery, local authority information, shipping data and reporting from established news organizations.

Where a report is based on information supplied by another source, the source is identified.

Europe | Ukraine | Russia | Black Sea | Middle East | Asia | Africa | North America

Her work examines both the immediate human consequences of conflict and its wider effects on global markets, trade, energy and the economy.

Editorial Standards
