My book Reporting the Courts is out this week, published by @routledgebooks. It’s full of new research into the past, present and future of how the media covers the courts in the UK. Let's dive in! 🧵
🚨Personal News! Delighted to be joining @SalfordUni as a Teaching Fellow! 🎓 I’ll be part of the BA Sports Journalism team from September 2025 onwards. Still freelancing in all the usual places but very excited to be heading back to my alma mater! 📺📻📝🤳🏾
I played my first ever T20. No fancy matching kits or coloured pads here, pure village from me.
Week off post Glasto. While cleaning my garage found my 1st interview with Oasis from Oct 94. I was an exchange student @penn in Philadelphia, writing for the student paper @dailypenn’s arts section @34ST Saw Oasis play a pub that night. Deaf for a week. Prescient last line.

Understated goodbye from one of the great broadcasters. Some emotion too from Steve Rider at the end, and well there might be. Half a century on the screen, guiding the nation through so many sporting moments that we’ll never forget. Pictures from ITV
A fascinating day with colleagues in journalism & academia at @SalfordUni. I enjoyed hearing from a roster of speakers that included @CliveTyldesley, @gabrielclarke05, @danroan, @Natalie_Pike_ & @TheAthleticFC’s Craig Chisnall. Thanks to Richard Jones, @taylorumland for hosting.
Look. From end of the month, COP hearings in the RCJ are going to move to a new listing system (CaTHs). We're not allowed to register as we're not journalists. We can't get alerts or search it. The Court is shooting itself in the foot by obstructing open justice. @HMCTSgovuk
