Her work has appeared in The Guardian, Bloomberg, The Sydney Morning Herald, Al Jazeera, The New Humanitarian, and News Deeply, among other publications.
Clement, an Australian journalist living in Paris, France at the time, traveled across three continents and underwent four quarantines for work and family reasons during the pandemic.

She urged public attention to structural inequality in race and gender and called for more diversity of representation in story topics, newsroom staffing, and leadership.
