Stuart Ramsay

Multi-award winning journalist Stuart Ramsay is Sky News’ Chief Correspondent reporting on major global news stories and world events. Stuart is the channel’s longest serving foreign correspondent and has recently returned from a stint in Sky’s Dubai bureau. Previously Stuart was based at Sky News’ New Delhi bureau.

Stuart’s recent assignments include an investigation into an unofficial, illegal jail run by vigilantes fighting Mexico's drug cartels, the uprisings in Ukraine and reporting from the MH17 crash site.

In 2013 Stuart spent a lot of time covering the unfolding events in Syria, covering the devastating impact on civilians in Homs, the battle for Aleppo and gaining exclusive footage and interviews with UK jihadists. It was there he met a lawless rebel group – soon to become the most feared in the Middle East – IS.

Stuart reported on the dramatic scenes in Tahrir Square during the uprisings in Egypt, for which him and his team were nominated for a BAFTA, and awarded a Golden Nymph at the Monte-Carlo Television awards. Stuart has received many awards including playing a vital role in securing a Royal Television Society News Channel of the Year award for Sky News’ Pakistan Swat Valley coverage, winning Broadcast’s award for best news programme, and receiving a BAFTA nomination and Emmy award for reports on the Taliban in Pakistan. Stuart also won a Monte Carlo Nymph award for coverage of the Pakistan earthquake. He has also been a Foreign Press Association finalist, a runner up for the Bayeaux war correspondent of the year award, and winner of the London Press Club Journalist of the Year award. Stuart has covered 18 wars from Chechnya through Africa, and the Middle East to Afghanistan and Iraq.
