Blogging Activities

I have contributed to several widely-read collaborative blogs related to media and communications policy,

including INFORRM and MediaPolicy.org; MediaPAL, (Media Policy and Law) which is run by LSE

colleagues. During my term on the Consumer Panel I was a contributor to their blog.

In 2010, I set up the LSE Media Policy Blog, with funding from the Open Society Institute and the Higher

Education Innovation Fund. This group blog, which I continue to manage, has established itself as a key

resource in UK Media Policy debate. Since 2010 I have written more than 70 blog posts for the LSE Media

Policy Blog, and other outlets many of which are re-posted on a network of influential public policy and

politics blogs such as Comment is Free, The Conversation and INFORRM. These are not listed here.
