Profile

I am an academic writer, journal editor and university teacher of the sociology of media with over 21 years of experience in UK higher education. My research expertise focuses on the sociology of journalism, news production and the reporting of social issues.

My writing contributes to our understanding of the changing production practices of journalism (in the UK and beyond), alongside our grasp of how the media responds to large scale issues and events (i.e., climate change, energy transitions, immigration, terrorism,  war …)

I was a founding editor of the international journal, Sociology Compass and have acted as a mentor on the IAMCR’s Emerging Scholars Programme, a Stream Convenor for the annual British Sociological Association (BSA) conferences, and have taken up visiting professor positions at the University Grenoble (France) and Rhodes University (South Africa).

I remain a Convenor of the BSA Media Study Group, a member of the Peer Review College for the UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Programme, and, act presently as a member of the Steering Group, and as the European regional coordinator for the Global Journalism Risk Project.
