We’re thrilled to welcome @ahmermkhan as The New Humanitarian’s fourth Humanitarian Reporting Fellow!

Ahmer is an award-winning, two-time Emmy-nominated multimedia journalist, filmmaker, and photographer with over a decade of experience reporting across South Asia. His work—featured in The Guardian, The New York Times, Al Jazeera, CNN, Vice News on HBO, and more—has covered some of the region’s most urgent issues: the Rohingya refugee crisis, the Kashmir lockdown, climate-driven child trafficking, India’s citizenship law, and more.

Over the next six months, Ahmer will be reporting from India and the subcontinent, helping us bring deeper local insight into our coverage of humanitarian issues. As part of the fellowship, he will challenge traditional models and ethics of representing crises and the experiences of the communities living through them. He will experiment with new storytelling formats and develop an in-depth multimedia reporting project.

We’re excited to have Ahmer join our newsroom and can’t wait to share his work with you.
