Tik Root

I'm a freelance journalist covering the Middle East and currently based in Sana'a, Yemen. My reporting and opinion pieces have been published by The Economist, Foreign Policy, BBC, Washington Post, The Atlantic, New York Times, CNN, Al-Jazeera and Vermont Public Radio, among other outlets. 

I hold a B.A. in International Politics and Economics from Middlebury College, and am proficient in Arabic. All of my work can be found on either the “Published” and the "Unpublished & Blog Pieces" pages.

I am available to do print (news, features and long-form), radio and some multimedia work (producing). Additionally, I am happy to give interviews or help make arrangements (local contacts, fixers, etc.) for journalists traveling to Yemen.

Feel free to get in touch via e-mail, phone, Skype Facebook, Twitter, etc. I keep the contact page updated with all my current information.
