View From The Byline

For Rory Cellan-Jones, being a journalist is not as straight forward as you may think; the BBC Technology Correspondent suffers from Parkinson's disease and choroidal melanoma.

In this episode of the View From The Byline podcast, Rory discusses what it's like to work as a journalist with his current health conditions; what he believes to be the biggest moment in recent technology history, and how the BBC thought the internet 'bubble' had burst back in the early 2000s.

When it comes to varied writing styles, Jim Waterson has quite the experience looking at his CV. Since starting out with business paper City AM, Jim has gone on to be Political Editor for BuzzFeed UK and, more recently, has become the Media Editor at The Guardian.

In the latest episode of View From The Byline, Jim discusses what it was like to work for BuzzFeed at a time when their reputation within the media was rapidly becoming more respectable; his current role in scrutinising the media while working for The Guardian and how he fried an egg using sunlight reflected off a skyscraper all in the name of getting a news story.
