Newsletters

In 2023, I launched BBC Studio’s international technology newsletter, Tech Decoded. Each edition included news writing and analysis from me, and I commissioned and edited features for each one too. You can read the blurb for the project here or check out a few of the 100+ past editions below.

Writing

An oddity of working at BBC News is that for most of my decade here, there was a policy of not placing bylines on daily general news stories. I have hundreds – if not thousands – of stories to my name, with pageviews counted in hundreds of millions. Most, however, don’t have my name on them. Below you’ll find some of the handful that do.

Broadcast

As a specialist technology reporter on the daily news desk, I’d write two or three stories a day for online, and then offer those stories to broadcast as needed. That meant a little bit of on-camera stuff and a lot of radio – most often as live reporter two-ways explaining a story to large audiences on BBC Radio 4 or to the World Service.

I was also a regular co-host or presenter’s friend on our weekly radio programme Tech Tent (largely recorded from home during Covid), and occasionally contributed to national news bulletins and other radio programmes.
