Gifford was on staff at the BBC World Service for three years. In the United States, he worked for two years at WGBH in Boston. From 1999 to 2005, Gifford was the China correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR). He took leave of absence from NPR to write his first book, China Road, (2007; Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?'

Gifford initially covered this journey in a seven-part radio series for NPR's program Morning Edition, as one of his last journalistic projects in China.[1][2][3]
Gifford is currently the China editor of The Economist (beginning August 2011), and was previously the London bureau chief for NPR.[4][5]
