Who is this chancer?

I’m a journalist who has spent the bulk of the last year working with Channel Four News and More4 News in London, although I’ve just returned (Sep 09) to Sydney, Australia. I’ve just begun some work with SBS News Online and am freelancing for other online news sites.

Nothing interests me more than media methods and change, politics, and international affairs. In the last year I’ve worked at or contributed material towards More4 News and Channel Four News, spent some time at the BBC, shot some films for Guardian Careers, and worked on a friend’s film shown on Al Jazeera English. There’s some other rubbish on youtube, or you can holla at me on facebook or twitter.

This is mostly a place for musings on the changing media landscape . So, expect to see thoughts on the convergence of media platforms, with a particular focus on my other interests. So, while web 2.0 and 3.0 concepts interest me – from the decaying print industry to broadcast troubles, video cameras to editing suites, web apps to tech start-ups -  my interests in the world, from politics to language and travel – can also find a place.  (Yawn).
