Research
Previous research roles include serving as the lead for the ‘Arts, Culture and Public Service Broadcasting’ workstrand for the AHRC-funded Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC), co-ordinated by Nesta in London. Current projects include examining the forging of new relationships between professional and citizen journalists where the news coverage of war, conflict and crisis is concerned, with a particular interest in news images. He is currently co-authoring a book on visual citizenship, and co-editing one on citizen journalism. He has a longstanding interest in science journalism, including with respect to its transition to digital environments and, more recently, the citizen reporting of citizen science. Further research interests include journalism and human rights, media history, and young people’s civic engagement with digital media. Funding for his research has been awarded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), British Academy, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and Swedish Research Council, amongst others.
