Hello! I'm a journalist, media trainer and communications pro based in Brussels.

I spent the past few years managing multimedia projects for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Doctors Without Borders, and before that I headed up original video storytelling out of Europe and sub-Saharan Africa for Al Jazeera's AJ+.

A passion for human rights, knack for storytelling and relentless curiosity have led me through a string of long-term humanitarian and journalism/media stints in Kosovo, Bosnia, Georgia, South Korea, Washington, D.C. and the Bay Area of California.

I'm always looking for new ways to push boundaries and experiment in how we tell important stories. For me, I've done my job well when I've come up with a creative twist to help people affected by an important story communicate their perspectives to an attentive public, whatever relevant public that may be.

I studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Emory University (hit me up if you want to talk 20th and 21st-century epistemology), and I explored a few of the former Soviet Union’s 'frozen conflicts' as a Comparative Politics MSc student (Department of Government, “Conflict Studies” stream) at the London School of Economics. 

This is just a placeholder page while I make the rest of this site look nice and fancy.

Do come back soon. In the meantime, feel free to drop me a line at Sarah[dot]Murphy[at]gmail[dot]com

Want a few things to watch until we chat? Find a few videos below.

The beautiful (and now very old) video below is a great place to start – it's a dark but important piece about women and solitary confinement in U.S. prisons. Like all of the best projects I’ve worked on, this was a team effort. Scroll down for a few more.

I’ll add a couple MSF productions from South Sudan and South Africa’s platinum belt here soon.
