Jackie Fox is an Irish journalist, working as a foreign news reporter for RTÉ.

Career
Fox began her career in RTÉ News as a summer intern on RTÉ Radio One's 'News at One' programme in 2012. Following the placement, she became a freelance journalist for the organisation working as a newsreader for RTÉ 2FM and as a reporter across a number of Radio One programmes including Ireland's most listened to radio show 'Morning Ireland' and 'Today with Sean O'Rourke'. In 2015, Fox joined the 'Morning Ireland' team permanently mostly reporting on social justice, the housing crisis and the arts.

Two years later, Fox travelled to the Caribbean island of Dominica where she reported for TV, radio and online on the aftermath of Hurricane Maria which devastated the island six months before. The trip was funded by the Simon Cumbers Media Fund.

The following year, Fox moved to television and currently works as a multimedia journalist on the foreign desk in RTÉ News. She has travelled with the European Commission to Ethiopia to report on gender equality and the influence of China on the African nation. She also reported from Saudi Arabia about the kingdom's restrictions on women.

In August 2019, Irish-Franco teenager Nora Quoirin went missing from the Dusun Rainsforest Resort Malaysia. Fox was the only Irish journalist on the scene for more than a week, where she reported on the daily efforts to find the 15-year-old and ultimately the tragic finding of her body.

Since March 2020, Fox has been producing and co-hosting RTÉ's US Election 2020 podcast 'States of Mind' with Washington Correspondent Brian O'Donovan.
