Area of expertise

Adam's area of research primarly focuses on the practice of journalism within the UK radio industry and podcast industry. Specifically, he is looking at both the impact of deregulation in UK radio and the extent to which journalistic objectivity is compatible with the techniques of succesful news podcasts.    

 
He also collaborates with local groups within Bristol to help UWE students develop podcasts with a strong local impact. This currently includes the social enterprise ACH and their Wisdom from the Global Majority podcast series.
