Paul Myers is
a senior journalist with the BBC News Verify
team.
With a
background in computer science stretching
back to the late 70's, Paul joined the BBC
in 1995, as an information researcher. As
the internet grew in significance, Paul was
able to blend his technical knowledge with
the realities of his work in journalism. As
a result, he was able to devise unique,
innovative strategies that have led
countless researchers to evidence they would
never have otherwise found. His ideas
continue to shape the way professionals
conduct online research and investigation.
Paul's career
with BBC Academy and BBC News has seen him
work within programme teams, solving issues
related to investigation, whilst sharing
vital new skills with his colleagues.
He has worked
with leading programmes like Panorama,
Watchdog, Inside Out, BBC News, BBC Online,
local & national radio and the BBC World
Service. He joined the BBC News Data and
Analysis team in January 2022, and became
part of BBC Verify when it launched in April
2023. His role currently involves
journalism, online investigation and
organising training for the department.
Outside of the
BBC, Paul has trained personnel from groups
as diverse as The United Nations, The
Guardian Newspaper, KPMG, The Financial
Times, Channel 4, CNN and the World Bank.
