Hi, I'm Josephine. I'm an academic researcher and writer, as well as a radio/audio and public relations practitioner. My professional career began in local radio. I have worked in all three sectors: commercial, the BBC and community access. I have worked as a public relations and promotions expert as well as a presenter, producer and journalist. More recently, I have been teaching in Higher Education, both at undergraduate (Birkbeck, University of London) and postgraduate level (Brunel University of London) specialising in media and communications studies, PR practice/theory and related fields.
