I teach broadcast journalism production at the University of Kent Centre for Journalism, as well as an academic course on war reporting. I have brought my expertise as a frontline reporter and film maker to investigate previously little-reported areas of the way that news practitioners work. This is work that news organisations rarely publish themselves. I have worked in TV news, then observational documentaries. I still make films occasionally. I specialise in difficult access, self shoot and also work with presenters. In the Nineties, I was a member of the agency, Frontline News Television. The films I shot in Iraq have reached both an academic audience at the Institute for Communication Ethics website, as well as a popular one at the Daily Beast website. In January 2014 Al Jazeera People in Power transmitted my film Kazakhstan: A poisoned legacy, about a British mining company which was deeply involved with a fake company that operated a lead smelter that poisoned thousands of children. http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/peopleandpower/2014/02/kazakhstan-poisoned-legacy-2014219142030905812.html |
