Andrew is a media specialist in news-gathering and editorial content rights concerned with major organised news events, such as international sports tournaments. He is the Executive Director of the News Media Coalition which runs a global industry campaign to ensure news publishers and news agencies – their reporters, photographers and video-journalists — are able to cover events without arbitrary or unfair limits. A former journalist himself, he has written for many national papers and had a number of senior management roles at The Times of London. His work brings him into contact — and sometimes contention — with the administrators of many professional sports leagues and clubs and the organisers as well as policy makers.
