Nicola Jones

Nicola joined academia out of desperation for a normal suburban life. It didn’t work. She now teaches journalism and ethics, new media, feature writing, opinion (which comes easily) and specialist writing, corporate stuff, far too much theory, research methodology and just about anything else she is called upon to do. She is currently supervising around five Master’s students and 14 doctoral candidates, which keeps her pretty busy. They teach her something new every day. She worked as a journalist for 12 years before leaping into the university world, and still write whenever she can. Far too many editors visibly blanch when her name is mentioned. She particularly likes the thought of subverting an entire new generation of journalists.
