I'm a newspaper and broadcast journalist with more than 20 years of experience in the field. Most recently I was an on-screen journalist at ITV News but I've also been chief reporter at The Northern Echo and have freelanced for national newspapers. At Sunderland, I teach undergraduate and postgraduate students, and I lead the video journalism modules.
Teaching and supervision
I lead the teaching of video journalism across the undergraduate and postgraduate courses and also teach news writing and gathering skills to stage one and two students.
