Emily’s loss is too cruel to comprehend. She was kind and compassionate and so very talented. But more than that she was a mother, a wife, a daughter and a beautiful person in every way. So many hearts are broken to know that she has gone.
We are devastated at the passing of our remarkable colleague Emily Morgan.
Emily was a hugely talented journalist and a much-loved friend and mentor to so many here. She will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with Emily’s family.

Thanks and congrats to the BBC Verify team on the first day of our new operation. Thanks also to all our BBC News programmes and platforms who have supported the Verify team and the important work they’re doing. Sharing Mariana’s great introduction on BBC Breakfast ….
Welcome to BBC Verify! I chatted to BBC Breakfast about it.
Everything from interrogating social media feeds using undercover accounts and investigating real-world impact of mistruths, hate and conspiracy movements to piecing together what’s happening with satellite imagery.
