I’m Jack. I’m a freelance journalist, editor and staff writer based in Manchester, UK. I mostly cover technology, science, climate change and business but I also write about music, online culture and unique people. I specialise in news, long-form features and solutions-based journalism. Some of my ideas have become front page stories for publications like the Guardian and Mixmag. Others have appeared on BBC TV, UK and US breakfast news and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS.I also work and travel as an overseas reporter. I’ve covered the lives of organic sound artists in Japan, the dance music of Morocco and Naples and, on one occasion, travelled the length of Scotland in a 1980s camper van.
