Portrait of Emma Bubola

Emma Bubola

I am a New York Times reporter with the International desk, focusing on news across Europe. I’m based in London.

I often report on big breaking international stories and their consequences across the continent. I am always interested in stories that are grounded in a place, person or community but illustrate the implications of larger issues and dynamics.

Since 2018, I have been based in France, Italy and Britain for The Times. I covered the Covid pandemic from its first Western epicenter in Italy, and reported about the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. My work on Ukraine included some of the earliest reporting about Ukrainian children taken by Russian forces.

To cover wider issues on the continent like immigration, demographics and inequality, I have reported from Danish housing projects, Parisian mosques and empty Italian dance halls, and written about tax-loving millionaires, Alpine vaccine skeptics and Ukrainian farmers.

I grew up in Italy and attended Sciences Po Paris University in France, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s in journalism and international security. I lived in Istanbul for a year and worked for an Italian news organization before joining The Times.

I adhere to The Times’s extensive ethics guidelines and its commitment to courage, open mindedness and integrity. I report with humility and curiosity and believe stories should convey that people are three dimensional and situations are complex and nuanced.
