I am a Professor of Media and Global Development. I study media freedom; international journalism; media influence on aid; humanitarian news; media capture, and audiences of distant suffering. My publications include Capturing News, Capturing Democracy (2024), Humanitarian Journalists (2022), Media and Development (2014) and From Entertainment to Citizenship (2014). I hold a PhD and MA in Media and Development Studies from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. My current research examines advocacy for media freedom and the media’s influence on UK aid.
