He’s a pioneer of one-man band journalism and has been shooting and editing his own television reports for nearly 30 years.

Brabant has been broadcasting for almost half a century and has had assignments in over 80 countries.

Since joining the Newshour, he’s been the recipient of two Peabody awards, for the European refugee crisis and Covid, and a duPont prize for his contribution to the program’s Ukraine war reportage.

While a BBC correspondent, he was named Sony Radio Reporter of the Year for his coverage of the siege of Sarajevo and received an Amnesty International Radio award for reporting on the Russian bombardment of the Chechen capital Grozny.

Brabant is also a New York Times bestselling author. He co-wrote “The Daughter of Auschwitz,” the Holocaust memoir of Tova Friedman, one of the youngest survivors of the Nazi death camp. The book is being translated into 18 languages.

Brabant is married to the Danish journalist and author Trine Villemann. The couple met in Sarajevo during the siege. They live in Sussex in Southern England, with Lukas, their musician son, and Loki, their golden retriever, the inspiration for ‘Dogsplaining,’ their newly published comic novel about obesity, narrated by a dog.
