He began his career as a researcher on the investigative documentary series Rough Justice, and his last staff position was as Deputy Editor of the 2010 BBC Prime Ministerial Debate. During his time at the BBC, he was part of teams that won two Royal Television Society Awards and a New York Festivals medal. He has since worked for Channel 4, Sky and ITN. Up until Sir Keir Starmer's leadership of the Labour Party, he had produced interviews with just about every leader of a main UK political party since 2000. He has worked on TV coverage of six general elections.

He is a member of the Scott Trust Review Panel, an organisation which deals with editorial complaints in relation to the Guardian's content. He has been the BBC’s Advanced Legal Trainer for about 15 years, and coordinated Channel 4’s investigative journalism training scheme for around seven years.

His has an undergraduate degree is in philosophy from Cambridge and a doctorate in media law from Oxford, where his supervisor was the constitutional expert Professor Alison Young and latterly Sir David Williams Professor of Public Law at Cambridge. He then undertook postdoctoral research back at Cambridge, into copyright and news, under Professors Lionel Bently (of Cambridge) and Ian Hargreaves (of Cardiff University).
