What it takes to work as a freelance journalist with award-winning freelance journalist and photographer Olivia Acland
Based between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Greece, Olivia Acland reports extensively across Africa, covering pressing issues including global health, human rights, climate change, and migration.
In addition to reporting for The Economist and, more recently, The Observer, her photography has been published by leading international outlets such as The New York Times, the BBC, and Al Jazeera.
