Jane Ferguson is a Beirut-based Special Correspondent for the PBS NewsHour. She reports from across the Middle East, Africa and beyond, often working in conflict zones.
Some of her reporting highlights include front-line dispatches from the war against ISIS in Iraq, an up-close look at Houthi-controlled Yemen, and reports on the war and famine in South Sudan.
On top of her work at the PBS NewsHour, Jane also writes for various outlets including the New Yorker. And before PBS, she reported extensively for Al Jazeera English and CNN International.
In this conversation, Jane and I discuss her journey from correcting spelling errors at a newspaper in Dubai to working for The NewsHour, her 2018 reporting trips to cover the ongoing war in Yemen, and the impact she hopes to have in the world when she puts her life on the line to bring us these untold stories.
