I’m a multimedia journalist based in London.


I teach mobile multimedia and online journalism at London Southbank University. You’ll find my work featured on the BBC, Reuters and media across the world.

Before journalism I worked in web development, and now run Alex Wood Creates, my own web design and online marketing company.

I started out as a reporter in Japan. After making multimedia history with G20 Live and the Berlin Project I helped found Not on the Wires.

The Berlin Project

Alex Wood

The Berlin Project pushed the boundaries of new media and broadcast journalism. It was the successor to G20 London Live, and this time we shared our content with the Reuters news agency


By covering a modern day Germany 20 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, a five–member team – whose work has been published and broadcast on the BBC, CNN, Sky News, Reuters, and CBC – used multiple platforms to represent a new generation of interactive journalism.


The project merged print, radio and television coverage with online social media tools making the coverage extensive and instant. Along with ‘traditional’ equipment, the team of reporters used mobile phones [and other gadgets] with applications allowing them to stream live video and audio onto the web.

G20 London Live

Alex Wood In April 2009 a group of multimedia journalists changed the face of mobile reporting forever. I created a live reporting site the night before the world descended upon London for the G20 Summit.


Armed with a team of mobile reporters, we covered the summit, bank of England and the climate change camp. It was after the police blockaded protestors and reporters alike that G20 London live came into its element. The coverage required no editor just raw and live updates, photos and videos streamed into the site making it one the key sources for information.


The coverage went on to be featured by the BBC and acted as the springboard to the Berlin Project.

Japan Reporter

The Sankei Shimbun, Osaka, Japan

In 2007 I was the first foreign trainee at the Sankei Shimbun産經新聞, a Japanese national daily newspaper.


I started out in the business section and ended up being trained the Japanese way, something that's stayed with me throughout my career.


From the age of 12 I started learning Japanese at school, and then went on to study at Kobe University in Japan. In London I've worked with the Japanese government as a interpreter and negotiator in the trade section. I continue to specialise in Japanese affairs and cover the region for Clinica magazine and Mycow.
