Welcome
Hello! I’m Professor Emily Johnson, and I’m an independent (freelance) multimedia journalist. I’ve reported mostly internationally, but also here in the US and in NYC specifically. I’ve worked in a variety of media, including radio and video, but one constant has been that whatever the assignment, I’ve always been my own photojournalist.
