Clare Hammond is a British journalist. Based in London, she works for non-profit Global Witness, investigating issues relating to natural resources, conflict and corruption. Her recent investigations into illicit rare earth mining and ruby mining in Myanmar have been covered by publications including the Associated Press, the BBC, The Telegraph, The Times, and Al Jazeera.

In Yangon, where she lived for six years until 2020, she was most recently the digital editor of Frontier, Myanmar's best-known investigative magazine. There, she oversaw daily news coverage, and as a Google News Initiative Innovation Challenge grantee, led the digital transformation of Frontier’s newsroom, building Myanmar’s first reader revenue programme. She also set up a disinformation reporting team, which exposed the military’s attempts to discredit the result of Myanmar’s 2020 election through a disinformation campaign on social media that it subsequently used to justify a coup.

While working as Frontier’s digital editor, she was a Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting grantee, and reported from Myanmar and neighbouring Bangladesh for publications including Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, the Guardian, NPR and The Economist. Her reporting on topics ranging from exploitative Chinese investment in Myanmar’s borderlands, to extrajudicial killings by Myanmar’s military, was recognised by the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) in 2020, 2019 and 2016 and by the Hong Kong-based Human Rights Press Awards in 2019.

Before moving to Myanmar, she worked as a financial journalist in Hong Kong, covering Asian financial markets, banks and economies.

Her first book, On the Shadow Tracks: A Journey through Occupied Myanmar, was published by Allen Lane in June 2024.
