About
I have worked on (online) magazines/newsletters/newspapers/B2Bs since leaving school. I started out on the Harlow Gazette, working for locals in Ilford and Camden before joining the Sunday Mirror, briefly.
Having freelanced on Fleet St, I co-founded an award-winning magazine on the south coast called New Insight.
Since November 2013 I have been leading journalistic/academic investigations into UK Local Government Pension Schemes (published as exclusives in national newspapers in 2014 Independent on Sunday/i newspaper).
More recently I undertook a six month investigation in collaboration with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, London (Jan-July 2017) looking at unethical investments using public sector pension funds which resulted in international stories on a baby formula milk scandal and coal mining set to destroy the Great Barrier Reef.
I currently write for The Ecologist online magazine and occasionally Red Pepper magazine as well as iNews and iNewspaper.

Research
Since 2013, I have been researching the financing of industries like hydraulic fracturing, extreme energy extraction and tobacco resulting in the following publications:
Published Exclusive: Milmo, Cahal and Goodey, Jan (2014) Exclusive: Local authorities have 'conflict of interest' on fracking investments, The Independent, April 27. See

Published Exclusive: Milmo, Cahal, Kennedy, Jennifer and Goodey, Jan November 2014, Councils paid to cut smoking, but have £2bn of tobacco shares, Independent on Sunday, Nov 9. See
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/councils-paid-to-cut-smoking-but-have-2bn-of-tobacco-shares-9849300.html
In 2015 I wrote a chapter on data journalism in academic text: Data Journalism: Inside the Global Future (Abramis Academic Publishing, Bury St Edmonds) focusing on how you deliver a data journalism investigation from idea through to publication.
More recently I have been investigating the existential threats faced by National Parks which have resulted in the following publications:
