about me
Hi, I’m James Spry, a journalist and producer/assistant producer/tech op for LBC.
I’ve just finished an MA in Broadcast Journalism at City, University of London, and next to this text you will find a preview of the film I made at the end of my degree.
It’s about a public/private partnership that has gone wrong…
The NHS created enterprise-friendly contracts to speed up the waiting times for common treatments. But it’s lead to unnecessary treatments, rejected patients and millions of pounds flowing out of the NHS, and into private companies.
Watch the film:
Now, I’m working as a Producer, Tech Operator and Assistant Producer at LBC radio.
Also open to any other audio or video production opportunities.
This site is here to display some of my work, including:
Before my Masters began, I was writing news and features at the Global Cycling Network. I worked there for about 18 months, where I was the first hire in a new team of journalists for their cycling news site.
After about six months putting everything together, we went live in summer 2023, straight into a hectic year of reporting. The first weekend that the site was live, for example, I was already in France, reporting on Paris-Brest-Paris.
About a year later GCN was sold and they closed the site, among other things, and our fun was over. Within the year or so we were live, I published 287 articles and racked up 1.32 million page views.
