She oversaw work in the Balkans and became known for her reporting about the authoritarian regime in Azerbaijan after her friend and investigative reporter Khadija Ismayilova was sentenced to jail there in 2015.
In 2018, Miranda turned her focus to Central Asia, creating an innovative program using in-depth reporting fellowships to partner with local journalists. In a region with little tradition of investigative journalism, she has helped publish stories from the closed countries of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, as well as from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
Miranda has worked on many investigations that have seen worldwide impact. She oversaw the award-winning Plunder and Patronage in the Heart of Central Asia and The Matraimov Kingdom series of stories, which led to protests that eventually brought down a government in Kyrgyzstan.
