Contributing UK Editor at PC Mag
-
Aug 2018 - May 2020
As editor of the UK franchise of PCMag it is my responsibility to ensure the website is up to date with the latest news and that content written by my US colleagues is made relevant to a British audience where necessary. I write news pieces covering emergent technology, privacy, security, and social media, longform pieces about facial recognition, healthcare and virtual reality, streaming services, and 5G. I also interview executives from some of the most influential technology companies including Mozilla and Cloudflare, and review consumer gadgets such as the latest smartphones and laptops. Show less

As a staff writer for What Hi-Fi?, I reviewed consumer gadgets for online and print publication, as well as researching and producing features and advice pieces on new technology in the hi-fi industry. I also made myself responsible for adapting content to video and producing the brands first podcast - in order to try and reach a wider, more online audience.

During my time at Stuff Magazine, I researched information for articles - scouring news sources for upcoming and updated applications for Android, Windows and iOS operating systems. I also wrote news stories based on press releases, as well as longer news pieces and features in the Stuff Magazine faux-dialogue format, that were featured on both the website and in the August edition of the magazine.
