As a foreign correspondent she has covered issues including elections in Indonesia, the Trump White House, and mass shootings in New Zealand and the US, and asylum-seekers in Mexico. Clare is a professional VJ and mobile journalist with hostile environment training who has experience working both in teams and solo in the field. Clare was previously the World Editor of Reuters.com and World Editor of The Huffington Post in New York City.
