Senior Fellow Rosa Furneaux has left TBIJ to join Reuters as the new Sir Harry Evans Global Fellow in Investigate Journalism.

Commenting on X/Twitter, Rosa said: “The Bureau took a chance on me, a fairly inexperienced but very hungry reporter, and gave me the time, space and support to try really big things. I have loved my beat, loved finding my niche in access to medicine issues, and loved working with my brilliant, passionate colleagues. […] I will miss this place, and its fierce determination, so much. I could not have been luckier to start my career here.”

Reuters, in their press release, said: “Ms. Furneaux has already reported on major failures by Covid-19 vaccine platform Covax; exposed some of the baby formula industry’s unethical marketing techniques in Asia; and revealed the global spread of a substandard, contaminated cancer medicine. The Sir Harry Evans Fellowship Committee was particularly impressed with Ms. Furneaux’s moral conviction, gravitas and focus on exposing wrong-doing. She was chosen out of more than 400 applicants to be the 2024 Sir Harry Evans Global Fellow and will take up her role early next year.”
