A journalist and publisher, analysing technology and digital media since 1995. I provide news reporting, insight and strategic support on the business of online media, technology culture and digital communications.

I wrote multimedia stories and developed interactive TV concepts for BBC News, I was a contributor to Wired News and have written for New Media Investor, NME, PC Plus and Digital Home. I launched one of the UK’s first regional news websites and helped found one of the first national entertainment sites.

I have lectured online journalism and am a visiting speaker at universities, and documented the emerging digital news landscape for publications like Journalism.co.uk. I have developed social media marketing and communications strategies and consultancy for public organisations, including a report that influenced UK government engagement policy. I’m fascinated by technology culture.
