Academic experience

I am experienced researcher, senior lecturer and tutor at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), School of Communication Studies, in Auckland. I am part of the newly established Critical Media Studies department at the School. I am also co-director of AUT research centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD).

Before moving to academia, I worked as a financial and business journalist. I started my journalism career in Helsinki, Finland, and then worked in London, the United Kingdom, for 15 as a correspondent. I have experience in print, online and television journalism. I move to New Zealand in 2009, and to academia in 2011.
