Sally Lockwood: From the Frontlines to Global Perspectives

In the ever-shifting landscape of global journalism, few voices carry the weight of lived experience quite like Sally Lockwood. With a career that has taken her to the heart of the world’s most pivotal events, Sally has emerged as a trusted journalist known for her fearless reporting, sharp analysis, and calm presence during chaos.

 

 

Reporting History in the Making

From war zones to political uprisings, Sally has stood on the frontlines of some of the most defining stories of our time. Her extensive fieldwork includes multiple deployments to Ukraine to report on the unfolding war, and she was among the journalists covering the frantic final days of the Afghanistan evacuation, where her viral interview with the international head of the Taliban made headlines around the world. His public warning to the United States and the UK not to overstay the withdrawal deadline arguably influenced high-level geopolitical decision-making in those final days.

In the United States, Sally was reporting live from Capitol Hill on January 6th, capturing the intensity and uncertainty of a moment that shook the foundations of American democracy. And long before the world grasped the full impact of COVID-19, she was on the ground in Italy, bringing viewers gripping coverage that would go on to win an RTS award.

 

A New Chapter from Dubai

Now based in Dubai, Sally has expanded her journalistic mission with a new venture: “State of the World”, a weekly podcast and YouTube show co-hosted with fellow journalist Tara Palmeri. The show, born out of a need for nuanced, on-the-ground reporting and clear-eyed analysis, taps into the strategic vantage point between East and West.

“State of the World” explores the seismic geopolitical shifts shaping our era—from wars and global elections to economic instability and the future of diplomacy. Sally’s deep field experience, combined with Tara’s political reporting acumen, brings a fresh and compelling lens to international affairs.

 

 

The Voice You Turn To

A former anchor and international correspondent for Sky News, Sally has long been a recognizable face for breaking news. Her storytelling is marked by empathy, accuracy, and a profound understanding of the human dimension behind global headlines. Whether reporting live on air or offering analysis in a studio, she remains a go-to commentator on high-stakes events.

As the world grapples with rapid change, disinformation, and media fatigue, Sally Lockwood represents a rare breed of journalist: someone who not only shows up but also asks the right questions. With her new platform, she continues to inform, challenge, and engage an audience hungry for truth and perspective.
