As a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post, she reported in the following regions: South Africa (following the Soweto uprising and Steve Biko slaying by the police); Cairo as bureau chief, in charge of Arab world coverage; and Kuwait during border crossing and subsequent Emirate occupation by Iraqi forces. She was part of team covering the Gulf War from Southern Arabia, and she was a reporter for three months during a tour of duty in Baghdad.[2]

She has also been a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC.
Murphy is probably best known for her coverage of Iraqi-occupied Kuwait and the Gulf War (1990–91) that ensued.[3]
Recognition
Murphy was the 1994–1995 Edward R. Murrow Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.[4] In 2002, in the Washington Post's Book World she was described by Emran Qureshi, as having engaged in "careful reporting and cogent analysis [that] present[ed] readers with an indispensable opportunity to understand how the variegated strands of Islam – tolerant reformist traditions as well as militant anti-Western ones – have taken root in the Arab world's most vital civilization."
