Justin is a senior reporter with the BBC and leading producer. Justin was BBC Newsnight’s ‘Ethical Man’ in 2006. Over the course of a year he lived as ethical a lifestyle as possible documenting the process through a series of features, changing everything from his family’s diet, their source of heating, how they travelled, how they disposed of waste and what they did in their leisure time.
Justin moved to Newsnight from Panorama in 2005, having worked at Channel 4 News in 2003. He was something of a veteran at Panorama as one of his first jobs in television was as an Assistant Producer where, among many other stories, he worked on a programme which showed how Mercedes, Volkswagen and Volvo dealers were fixing car prices in Britain. Since joining as a reporter he had about as varied a diet of stories as anyone could wish for. For his first programme he traversed Britain’s burgeoning consumer debt mountain to discover why so many of us were using our plastic to “Spend it like Beckham”. The highlight of his time there was the investigation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). “Buying the Games” spoke to four Olympic insiders who said that there is one simple way to ensure your city gets the games – cash.
