A compelling new YouTube documentary series is pulling back the curtain on the perilous reality of reporting from the world's most dangerous locations. Titled 'Hotspots', the series provides an unfiltered look at the work of Sky News correspondents operating in hostile environments.
Behind the Scenes in Global Danger Zones
The series, which launched on Monday 1 December 2025, transports audiences directly into the field with veteran journalists. It showcases missions ranging from being shot at in Syria to navigating the gang-controlled streets of Haiti. The aim is to deliver the crucial context and unseen challenges that shape the headlines, offering the story behind the story.
In a special episode of the Sky News Daily podcast, chief correspondents Stuart Ramsay and Alex Crawford joined presenter Niall Paterson to discuss their vital work. The conversation delved into their most harrowing experiences and even looked ahead to the future, exploring where they would like to report from next.
