My articles and multimedia projects have also been published on platforms such as the Guardian, ABC, Al Jazeera, NPR, News Deeply, ZINC, The Diplomat and others.
In 2017 I was awarded a grant from National Geographic as one of their Young Explorers to continue my reporting on the conflict in Kachin State, in the north of Myanmar. I was also a Climate Tracker fellow in 2017. I worked as a journalist and media trainer for three years with Democratic Voice of Burma, one of Myanmar’s first and largest independent broadcasters. I then began freelancing reporting on the Rohingya crisis, women’s rights, and other quirky character-driven stories.
Before moving to Southeast Asia I worked for Australia’s ABC as a Researcher and Journalist with the National Reporting Team. Some of the key career highlights were pitching and working on an investigation into young people neglected in nursing homes. I also pitched my first documentary for the national broadcaster’s flagship program, Foreign Correspondent, that focused on the US embargo lifting in Cuba . I also dived into what renewable energy solutions Australia could learn from leading green countries.
When I'm not working behind a camera or with a pen in hand, I love to travel -- stagleaping into new territory, sharing a yarn with farmers and trekking up a mountain. Some of my recent adventures have included Iran, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. For stories on the road check out my instagram.
My passion is telling unique character-driven stories and innovative longform journalism projects that looks at solutions, not just the problems.
I’m currently working as a video producer for AFP in Hong Kong. Contact me through instagram: @libhogan
