EDITORIAL INTERN | NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE NEDERLAND

You recently graduated from King’s College with an MA in Non-Proliferation and International Security. Why did you choose this topic and university and would you recommend it?

I came to King’s after a Liberal Arts and Science bachelor at a University College in the Netherlands. I had already gained a keen interest in subjects like international relations, conflict studies and peace-building. I graduated with a thesis on war journalism, which I analysed from the perspective of peace studies. I wanted to continue in the field of conflict and international relations, but also to move away from the more 'soft' approaches I’d studied in my bachelor: away from peace-building, grassroots perspectives and people, and instead look at war (and war-fighting), strategy and an overall more technical approach, in terms of analysis.

FREELANCE JOURNALIST | CBS RADIO, NPR

You are a Brussels-based freelance radio reporter, mainly covering the European Union and NATO. What does that entail?

I cover both the headquarters and institutions of NATO and EU and, to some extent, issues in the allies or member states linked to the organisations. I also keep an eye on other pan-European bodies such as the European Court of Human Rights and the Council of Europe as well as the Hague-based International Criminal Court and International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

LEBANON AND SYRIA REPORTER | AFP

What do you do as Middle East correspondent at Agence France-Presse (AFP)?

I’m a reporter at AFP’s Beirut bureau, where we cover Lebanon and the war in neighbouring Syria. My job also occasionally takes me elsewhere in the region. In recent years, I’ve reported from Egypt, Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East. My job covers everything from politics and economics, to features about cultural and academic life, and what we call ‘offbeat’ stories about the lighter side of daily life. I’ve been in the region with AFP for nearly five years, and I’ve been able to write about some of the most momentous events in recent history. It’s a real privilege.

MIDDLE EAST CORRESPONDENT | DECA STORIES

What do you do as a Middle East correspondent for Deca Stories?

I’m a freelance journalist based in the Arabian Peninsula, covering the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council — Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. I try to balance my work between day-to-day news coverage and longer, more ambitious projects — investigations that I really care about. Most of my work follows politics and society, both of which have evolved enormously since I moved to the region four years ago at the beginning of the Arab Spring.
