Stuart Ramsay is Sky News Chief Correspondent and reports on all the major domestic and foreign stories. Ramsay has received many awards including the Monte Carlo Golden Nymph in 2006 for his coverage of the Pakistan Earthquake, and in 2005, Gold from New York Festival for his coverage of the Sudan crisis. In 2004, he was an Emmy Finalist for his coverage of the Liberia war. Ramsay has covered nine wars from Chechnya through Africa, and the Middle East to Afghanistan and Iraq. Since 2003, Stuart has covered Iran and Afghanistan respectively, both as an embedded and an independent reporter. Other more recent coverage includes the death of Benazir Bhutto and meetings with members of the taliban in Pakistan. Ramsay was previously Five News’ Chief News Correspondent and, prior to that, Sky News Africa Correspondent, a post he took up in January 2001 when he opened its Johannesburg bureau. During his time as Africa Correspondent, Ramsay filed numerous exclusives, including an interview with the President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe. His coverage of the refugee crisis in Sudan’s Darfur region received world-wide acclaim. Ramsay has worked for Sky News for 17 years, joining the news channel initially as a reporter. From his then London base, Stuart worked on a large range of domestic and foreign stories. He was one of two correspondents sent to cover the Ostend tanker-ship crash, coverage that later earned the company its first RTS award. He headed up a team sent to India for three months to film six documentaries, and covered the civil war in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. On numerous occasions he worked in the USA, including filming a documentary and news stories on crime in Florida. He worked extensively throughout Europe and Asia reporting on a wide range of on-the-day news stories before moving to Northern Ireland in 1995 as Ireland Correspondent. There he reported on the slow progress to peace from the days of the Shankill Road bomb, the announcement of the IRA cease-fire, to the first stand-off at Drumcree. After Northern Ireland he was appointed Moscow Correspondent where he was responsible for Sky’s entire coverage of the former Soviet Union and made a series of visits to Chechnya during the civil war and subsequent uneasy peace. Stuart reported on the turbulent effects of the Yeltsin era, travelling to many of the most remote regions of the republics to report and analyse the state of the nation from the perspective of the ordinary people. In 1997 he was awarded a silver world medal in the New York Television festival for special reports on a lifers’ prison in northern Russia. After two-and-a-half years he moved to the United States as US Correspondent, arriving in America at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The US posting required the ability to cover virtually every type of story. During his time there Stuart has reported on a range of topics, from the politics of Washington – and the dramatic events of the US elections 2000 - to earthquakes in Colombia, hurricanes in Honduras, tobacco farmers in Kentucky and film premieres in New York.
