Jacob Ridley Email & Phone Number

I spend my time reporting on the latest developments in technology and gaming, covering everything from the technical side of the semiconductor industry to testing components in the test rig. I have 7+ years of experience in technology journalism, but I'm always keen to expand into new areas, formats, and other exciting ways of reporting.I earned my first byline on my own hardware blog—yeah, that still counts! From there, I graduated to PCGamesN, beginning as Hardware Writer, Deputy Hardware Editor, and later moving on to run the section as Hardware Editor. Then I joined PC Gamer—a prestigious and world-renowned brand. That’s where you’ll currently find me writing features, news and reviews—online and in print. I’ve reported from the biggest shows in the industry (including E3, CES, Computex, and Gamescom), hosted and produced hundreds of videos and spoken on national radio and podcasts.I believe journalism should be delivered through a wide range of formats, including video. I'm able to bring years of experience as a professional video editor and presenter to tell stories in a variety of ways. I started PC Gamer's official TikTok account in 2021, and, until 2024, I independently ran the account producing the majority of videos for the platform. I'm very proud of the successes I saw over those years: reaching millions of people and gaining 30,000+ followers.I'm currently studying as a part of a Senior Journalism apprenticeship with the University of Sunderland and Welsh language courses.It’s thanks to all this fantastic experience that I've been able to deliver compelling, helpful, and earnest content with millions of readers, and with more to come. If you’ve been working on an exciting project, I would love to hear about it.
