Emilie I. Stewart

​My name is Emilie I. Stewart. I’m a student journalist at Edinburgh Napier University in my third year. My journalism spans a variety of topics, from defence and security to housing insecurity and environmental governance. My work has featured in The National newspaper, Saltire Society, and Edinburgh Live. I run the political sub-section of my University’s student publication ENRG. I have long held a passion for combatting mis and disinformation, which is why I joined SYFF’s election newsroom when the opportunity arose. Malinformation is increasingly encroaching on Western democracies, and at a time when Europe’s security is under great threat, this issue is more important than ever. I want to do my part to help protect healthy democratic processes, like Scotland’s Parliamentary Elections, one fact at a time.
