Adam Matthew J. Tinworth (born 6 November 1971[2]) is a journalist and writer who co-authored two major role-playing games, and from White Wolf Publishing. He was also an extensive contributor to , a game line that was subsequently ported to video games.

Since around 2005, he has become known as a commenter and analyst of digital journalism and social media. The Guardian covered his dispute with the National Union of Journalists over the role of bloggers in the news ecosystem,[3] and has extensively referenced his work.

Career

Adam Tinworth began his journalistic career by working on student magazines at Imperial College, London and Queen Mary, University of London.[4] He has written the long-running journalism blog One Man & His Blog since 2003.[5] [6]

His blogging was first written about in the press during the 7 July 2005 London bombings, and was widely cited as an example of citizen journalism[7] - ironically, as he was a working journalist at the time. By 2009 his site was described by The Guardian as a prominent blog,[8] alongside publications like Paul Staines' Guido Fawkes.

His blogging work led to him being appointed blogging editor for Reed Business Information,[9] leading a push by the business-to-business publisher into blogs.[10] Previously, he was features editor of Estates Gazette, a weekly business magazine for the UK commercial real estate industry.

Tinworth has become known as a commenter, writer and analyst of digital media and its inter-relationship with journalism. His work initially was in the trade press,[11] but expanded later to cover wider issues in more general forms of journalism. His work was quoted in The Guardian regularly during the late 2000s,[12] presenting his comments on areas including journalistic blogging[13] and the rise of paywalls.[14]

In recent years, he has participated in evolving business models for online publishers.[15] He has also participated in the debate around "fake news", and been interviewed,[16] in his role as a journalism lecturer at City, University of London, on social media's role in its spread. He is regularly interviewed by trade sites for journalists.[17] [18] [19]

While no longer a working journalist, he occasionally breaks stories like the closing of Friends Reunited,[20] and the arrival of a new Kindle typeface.[21]

Tinworth's work has been quoted in books,[22] media articles[23] and academic papers[24] about digital journalism. He is one of the panel that contributes to the annual Reuters Institute study Journalism, Media, and Technology Trends and Predictions.[25]

Controversies

Tinworth was criticised for taking non-traditional journalistic positions during a dispute with the National Union of Journalists,[3] and debates[26] about the future of journalism careers with journalism writer and academic Roy Greenslade.

Role-playing games

In parallel to his journalism career, he began writing about RPGs for the British magazine Arcane.[27] He has contributed to over 25 role-playing game books for White Wolf Game Studio, including and , as well as two for Onyx Path.[28]
