About Me:
I'm currently working my way through the 400-odd photos on facebook to try and find one worthy of a user picture, so you'll just have to make do with the cheesy news shot for now. Anyway, I was born in London but have spent most of my life in Swindon. Did my undergrad at Exeter, along with apparently half the rest of the Diploma group, where I spent an arguably unhealthy amount of time in our student radio station before applying to Cardiff. Came out of it with a respectable BA in International Relations, which on its own is extremely interesting but totally useless - so the goal at the moment is to end up mixing the journalism with the international politics. Outside the course-related things, I can generally be found quoting Garth Marenghi or Anchorman, playing guitar with or without a band I'm in from Swindon, watching neighbours or weeping in the corner about how much I can't do shorthand.

One but not the same - Integration at the Beeb





Great talk by Pete Clifton, really interesting stuff. Thinking about it afterwards though, I wasn't quite sure how one bit was going to work:

Daniel Meadows, Mr President

The democratisation of the media. Sounds worryingly like a Bushism, doesn’t it? But, the point its making is fascinating. Editors and journalists can
no longer ride looking down on their audience with a sense of superiority
built only on the traditional assumption that the audience sits down
and listens while the journalist tells them what they need to know.


But this one-way r

Capturing Cardiff Pitch - 20 years since Tiger Bay

I’d like to do a piece on the development of Cardiff Bay 20 years after the redevelopments began – where its come from, what its achieved, and where its heading,.



Twenty years ago Cardiff Bay was, frankly, a bit of a mess. During Wales’ industrial prime, the docks on Tiger Bay (
