Journalist, producer and presenter
I have worked for 35 years in TV, radio and online and on location in the USA, Africa, Scandinavia, Germany, the UK and Ireland. My books apply the skills I learned making documentaries using oral history such as the award-winning six part BBC Radio 2 Radio Ballads in 2006, which won a Sony Gold for The Song of Steel and Thirty Years of Conflict about The Troubles in Northern Ireland, which won a Sony Bronze.
Pixels from a Crime Scene
Podcasting has become a huge growth industry and is a great way to reach individual people directly, especially on important issues. The six-part podcast series Pixels from a Crime Scene (2020) was one of those programmes that needed to be made, working closely with the Internet Watch Foundation to get the messaging right.
The podcast tells the story of online child sexual abuse through the words of victims, the people fighting to eradicate it, law enforcement, internet companies and, even perpetrators. Pixels from a Crime Scene delves into this clandestine world, shining a spotlight on what really goes on online and why images and videos showing the sexual abuse of children are still spreading across the open web.
