Biography
I'm an award-winning senior feature writer and former foreign correspondent with The Guardian newspaper in London, where my work mainly focuses on longform international reportage but also includes analysis, explainers and interviews. You can see my Guardian profile and my collected articles by clicking here. I have reported for the Guardian from more than 30 countries and was the paper's chief Paris correspondent for nearly 10 years. My reporting has been shortlisted for Feature Writer of the Year (British Press Awards), Best Digital Innovation (UK Foreign Press Association Awards) and Best Feature (Online Journalism Awards). I wrote the Guardian's groundbreaking, critically acclaimed multimedia interactive Firestorm - also an ebook - which has been shown in competition at documentary film festivals around the world and won the 2013 Walkley Award for multimedia storytelling. My work using social media to report the impact on ordinary people of the economic crisis in southern Europe has also won international recognition. I'm a fluent French speaker and am a regular guest on French radio and television. I also co-wrote and presented a well-reviewed four-part documentary series, The Price of Property, for UK broadcaster Channel 4.

The institute’s study of 25 counties in the Carpathian mountains was the first to use DNA samples from material such as faeces and hair. Previous estimates based on prints and sightings put the bear population at less than 8,000.
By Jon Henley Verified| The Guardian Verified Most of the time, nothing much happens. A wide Nordic river, melting snow still lining its banks, meanders peacefully through a pristine forest of spruce and pine. But this spring, as every spring for the past six years, a lot of people will be glued to it. When Den stora älgvandringen – variously translated as The Great Moose Migration or The Great Elk Trek – first aired on the public broadcaster SVT’s on-demand platform in 2019, nearly a million people tuned in. Last year, it was 9 million.
By Jon Henley Verified| The Guardian Verified At least 85 sperm donors in the Netherlands have fathered 25 or more children, the national gynaecology and obstetrics organisation has said, after a new registration system showed fertility clinics have been breaking existing rules on sperm donation for decades. The NVOG said on Monday that some clinics had deliberately used sperm batches more than 25 times, exchanged sperm without the necessary paperwork or donors’ knowledge, and allowed the same donors to donate sperm at multiple clinics.
