About me.

• I cover all aspects of the media industry, ranging from YouTube to Facebook to newspapers to television and new forms of communication that don't yet have a name.
• I was previously political editor at BuzzFeed UK and am always interested in stories on how the media is being used to influence us or change our politics.
• Among other things I have exposed Facebook propaganda networks, was (probably) the first person to interview a serving prime minister on an online video stream, and once cooked my lunch using a frying pan on the streets of London to highlight the risk posed by a "death ray" emitted by a major London skyscraper.
• I was born in York, now live in London, and have reported from around the world.
