Augusta Anthony
International news journalist
Hello! I'm a London-based journalist focused on international news and politics. I'm currently a Senior Producer at CNN Digital where I lead the international coverage and strategy for the Global Video Programming team. We edit, produce and program news for millions of users every day and I develop strategy to build our digital audiences.
In other lives I've been an English teacher in Hong Kong, worked on a congressional campaign in Boston and once tried to serve Paul McCartney a miniature hot dog while dressed as Marilyn Monroe.
I have an MS from Columbia Journalism School and an MA in History from the University of Edinburgh. I also spent a year on an international exchange at the University of Virginia.

I'm an experienced writer and editor as well as a video, audio and digital producer. I've reported from three continents, covering multiple elections, mass shootings, global unrest, a ground war in Europe, terrorism, crime and a pandemic.
As a reporter, I worked in CNN's New York bureau, covering high profile stories for TV, reporting news wires and writing digital stories -- not to mention stalking Donald Trump's former lawyer around the Upper East Side of Manhattan (see photo above!).
As an investigative journalist, I spent two and a half years as a researcher and reporting assistant on an upcoming book about US intelligence in the Middle East.
As an audio producer, I worked on The Economist's daily news podcast and wrote and reported a 30-minute audio documentary about the effect of immigration status and national politics on the mental health of undocumented immigrants.
As a writer, I've interviewed Proud Boys, priests, imams and ambassadors, written about money saving for The Times of London and wrote this long-form feature about religious spaces in Jerusalem.
