I’m Professor and Head of Journalism at City University London and started there in 2009. I previously worked as a writer and editor for The Times (of London) for 28 years and before that for The Observer. I chair the British committee of the British Press Institute and sit on the board the World Editors Forum. More career details here.

This blog hopes to carry opinions, links, discussions, reflections and comments about journalism at a moment when changes in technology have brought it to an inflection point. Anyone looking for a general summary of my outlook and views of what journalism is and should be can start here.

If you want to leave a comment, click on the “without comment” line immediately below the headline of the post concerned. Bit counter-intuitive, that.

I’m on  Twitter (@georgeprof), LinkedIn and Slideshare (georgeprof).
