I have worked as a journalist, media advisor to a Federal Minister, broadcaster, public relations practitioner and as a freelance writer, consultant and researcher. My research interests include all aspects of communication; the public communication of politics and policy; understanding the consequences of emerging technologies; media processes and practices; the history of the media and the social and political intersection of media communication and public policy.
Current research includes focus on media framing, media narratives, and media agenda setting.
