Abby Martin is an American journalist and TV presenter. She produced The Empire Files for the Venezuelan broadcaster teleSUR and before that, presented RT's 'Breaking the Set' programme.[1]

Before hosting her own show, Martin had worked for two years as a correspondent for RT America.

She is also an artist and activist, and helped found the citizen journalism website Media Roots which she operates with her brother Robbie Martin.[2]

The Empire Files

In 2015 Abby Martin launched The Empire Files with journalist and activist Michael Prysner.[3]

The Empire Files is hosted by teleSUR, which is funded by several Latin American governments, but is editorially independent. Martin said:

"The show is totally independent of teleSUR... We merely sell them the content; they have zero control over anything we do".

Martin and Prysner received death threats for their reporting on protests in Venezuela.[4] For The Empire Files, Abby Martin also reported from the Palestinian territories, the West Bank and the Amazon rainforest.[5][6]

It was shut down by sanctions from the american government in 2018.[7]
