Overview
I am a teacher at the School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC) here at Cardiff University.
My research and teaching interests include journalism, investigative journalism, data journalism, digital media, AI journalism and research methods. With a background as a former journalist, I teach not only theories in journalism and media studies but also journalistic practices - writing news stories, data collection, analysis and visualisation through programmes like Excel and Tableau.
I was recently awarded my PhD degree from Cardiff University. In my doctoral research, I explored the development, mission, challenge and practice of nonprofit investigative journalism organisations. I conducted ethnographic field research at two newsrooms in the United Kingdom and South Korea. My PhD thesis was shortlisted for the 2023 Media, Communication and Cultural Studies Association (MeCCSA) Outstanding Achievement Award in the Doctoral Research of the Year category.
I am both a co-editor of the book about investigative journalism and a co-author of chapters within the book, "Hybrid Investigative Journalism". I am currently writing academic journals and contributing scholarly chapters for various books.
