Simon currently teaches the following Masters degree modules:

  • MCT503 Mediatized Conflicts: The Politics of Conflict Reporting
  • MCT494 Global Crisis Reporting
  • Plus guest lectures, BA, MA and PhD supervision

Simon’s research interests broadly follow his publications to date, that include 11 books and many journal articles (see publications). He is currently preparing two new books, Humanitarian NGOs and the Media, and, with colleagues, Reporting Dangerously: Journalist Killings and Insecurity in the 21st Century. Recent research includes studies of:

  1. global crisis reporting with particular reference to climate change, new wars, major disasters and humanitarian crises;
  2. globalization, humanitarian NGOs and the changing media and communications environment;
  3. journalist witnessing, changing media and communications and the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ (R2P);
  4. the mediated politics of dissent with reference to protests, demonstrations and the Arab Spring.

Simon’s views on the unprecedented and catastrophic nature of global crises and their critical dependence on rapidly changing media and communications are found in his book Global Crisis Reporting: Journalism in the Global Age (Open University Press 2009) (Global Crisis Reporting flyer) and article, ‘Taking Global Crises in the News Seriously: Notes From the Dark Side of Globalization’, Global Media and Communication, (2011), 7(2): 77-95.
