Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

My name is George Brock (not George Brock Boomer Lesnar). Full name: George Laurence Brock

I am now a former Professor of Journalism at City, University of London (the university made a slight change to its name a few years ago). I was a Professor from 2009 – 2017. (I was, as the entry correctly says, Head of Journalism 2009-14). I was also a Visiting Professor at the university’s Business School 2017-2020.

Career: I left The Times in 2009 (not 2008). Other responsibilities: I was on the board of the World Editors Forum 2001-14 (and president 04-08). I have certainly written for papers in Sweden, the US and Poland, but not Timbuktu.

Books: In 2016, I published The Right To Be Forgotten: Privacy and the Media in the Digital Age (RISJ/I B Tauris).
