James Gordon (journalist)

James Daniel Gordon is a broadcast journalist and radio presenter for BBC News and the Mail Online. He reports on a variety of popular articles, and is currently a correspondent covering America, especially New York. Increasingly, Gordon has been producing articles for the Web: important topics covered have included the controversy over selling school places overseas,[1] the forgotten residents of Louisiana whose town resides in the infamous "spillaway area" in case of flooding,[2] New York's homeless stealing people's trash[3] and the end of NASA's Space Shuttle program.[4]

Early career

Graduating from the University of Cardiff,[5] Gordon's early career saw him presenting news packages for BBC Radio Yorkshire.[6] Following a period working as a journalist for Newsbeat and BBC News 24 at the BBC Television Centre in London, Gordon moved to the BBC's New York bureau where his journalism offers an American perspective to British audiences.[7] Such is the quality of Gordon's journalistic writing, his reports have been used to help others learn English as a second language through the BBC's Learning English website.[8]

Gordon is married to CNET Associate Producer, Sally Neiman.[9] The couple recently celebrated the birth of their first son, Alexander.

Community affairs

In his spare time, Gordon offers his services to the community by presenting a regular Saturday evening show on UKCountryRadio.com;[10] a move that was highly influenced by his close association with his BBC colleague, Allan Watkiss.[11]

In 2018, Gordon moved to Harlem in Manhattan.
