Teaching

From supervising junior reporters as their news editor, to training tomorrow’s journalists as their course leader, to writing accessible textbooks, teaching has been a massive part of what I do and how I work.

I joined the journalism and media production teaching team at York St John in April 2019, from teaching journalism at Staffordshire University. Becoming Associate Head for Production in the School of Art at YSJU, leading our teaching teams across media and music production as well as journalism, and continuing to teach both practice and theory.

At Staffs uni, I created new modules in entrepreneurial journalism, future journalism, games journalism, blogging and vlogging. As well as teaching on practical and theoretical journalism modules, and in photojournalism. That multimedia approach continued in my move to York, where I taught magazine production, digital news production and multimedia news.

I continue to do what I teach, running my own content sites, and writing for magazines and news outlets.
