I was interviewed for the University of Cambridge (@cam.ac.uk) website! :) We discussed the European Press Prize nomination, my life in Cambridge, and my current PhD research. (There are also some pictures of me, which is kind of a rare thing to find) www.cam.ac.uk/this-cambrid...

NOMINATED FOR THE EUROPEAN PRESS PRIZE @europeanpressprize.bsky.social.

In the past few years, both as a data journalist and a researcher studying online platforms, I've watched the data disappear. APIs paywalled, transparency tools discontinued, access requests denied without explanation.

I was part of a team @theguardian.com that spent much of the past year investigating a sprawling network of far-right groups on Facebook. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

@hernandesraph.bsky.social , @porcelinad.bsky.social and I spent the better part of a year watching and analysing how far right ideology is shared in open Facebook groups: here is what we found: www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int... with immense help from Pablo Gutiérrez, Garry Blight, Lydia McMullan

- AI will fix the NHS and solve a bunch of govt problems. - How? - 🤷 Idk, but it feels like we should have a clearer idea by now... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

New paper out! :) While there is some great reporting about AI out there, we know that news coverage about this topic is often far from ideal. In this study, we explore the issues journalists face when writing about AI, the tools they use, and potential solutions to improve the content produced.

My journey at the University of Cambridge continues! I'm excited to share that I'm heading back to school again, this time as a PhD student @camdighum.bsky.social, starting in October. My work will be supported by the generous Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholarship.

I was really proud to speak at an event by The Alan Turing Institute last week about AI and journalism. A couple of points I made:

Next week, I'll speak about AI and Journalism at The Alan Turing Institute! If you're interested, details below: -> How AI is shaping journalism and journalism is shaping AI Friday 11 April 2025, 17:00| In-person @ The Royal Institution, London Register: www.turing.ac.uk/events/how-a...

I have just found out that electric travel kettles exist and found it amusing. I can understand having a small kettle, but what about the "travel" bit? Is it in case you travel somewhere where there is electricity, but no proper way to prepare tea?

I was really glad to host a panel at the Oxford China Forum on AI, mental health, and companionship. Exciting topic, in an area with a lot of potential and a lot of concerns ---personally, I'm on the fence about a lot of this stuff and enjoy hearing about it.

This dude is relentless

Glad to have contributed by providing some data to this great story by Ajit Niranjan. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Chinese officials reportedly discuss sale of TikTok in US to Elon Musk

In the past few months, at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (University of Cambridge), I helped update the AI and Responsible Journalism Toolkit that was released earlier this week. @cfi-cambridge.bsky.social www.desirableai.com/journalism-t...

My first story for The Guardian is out! We analyzed the donations of tech-related billionaires and millionaires to the US campaign. It was a lot of money from a sector that used to keep some distance from politics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
