About
Hi. I am Lecturer in Journalism at the University of Sunderland, specialising in the practice and theory of environmental journalism, and the experience of global environmental change. I’ve worked across print, radio and online, and was for four years editor for the social justice and environment media platform OneWorld (www.oneworld.net). Since 1999, my professional expertise has been in the development of online content and audiences, social media, digital project management, and the business management of digital services for a range of private and public sector organisations, including the Cultural Leadership Programme.

Preparing a doctoral thesis, examining the representation of the texts and effects of climate change across media, from the press to literature, through the combination of a set of language theories with the field of neuroscience.

Interested in the development of audiences online, particularly young audiences. I provide consultancy to organizations and agencies developing projects in these areas. I’ve worked with and trained journalists in India, Zambia, the United States and the Balkans. I have provided communications consultancy to the UNDP for the Millennium Development Goals campaign, and sat on the new media steering group for the G8 Make Poverty History campaign.
