Bio
Miriam took up the newly-created role of Impact Editor at the Bureau in 2019, with a mandate to build a strategy for sparking change through investigative journalism. Her work has seen impact thinking embedded into all the Bureau's editorial processes; she is now focused on how the Bureau's journalism can be reimagined to become part of shifting power. Prior to working at the Bureau Miriam worked as an editor for Vice News and as a correspondent in Latin America reporting for the Sunday Times, New York Times and Foreign Policy among others. Miriam started her career at the Argus newspaper in Brighton and Hove before spending four years working for BBC radio. She became a journalist because she wanted to make a difference and feels very lucky to have found a role focused on exactly that.
