Senior Lecturer in Sports Journalism
An expert practitioner in sports journalism, I regularly produce freelance sports content for multimedia titles and refresh my industry knowledge.
A firm grasp of sports reporting techniques and ethical issues allows me to successfully teach students – both undergraduate and postgraduate – in preparation for the NCTJ Sports Journalism exam.
Extensive contacts in sport and sports media allow me to attract numerous guest speakers – ranging from professional sportspeople to current, high-profile sports journalists – to the University.
Teaching and supervision
Research
I am co-author of two books focusing on the socio-cultural landscape of the sports media, with particular reference to sports journalism's reporting of issues of race and religion, and sport-informed racism on social media.
I am the author of a chapter in the upcoming Routledge title "The Sports Journalism Handbook".
