Overview
Joe Michalczuk is Director of Broadcasting and Programme Director for the MA Broadcast Journalism and MA Television Journalism programmes at City, University of London.
His career spans over 15 years in journalism, including prominent roles at Sky News and Good Morning Britain.
During his ten-year tenure at Sky News, he began as a radio newsreader, reading the news to over 300 stations across the UK Commercial Radio Network. He then transitioned to the Entertainment Desk, where he made his mark as Sky's Arts and Entertainment Reporter and Movies Editor.
Joe's role took him to some of the world's most glamorous events, including countless film premieres and junkets. He was a familiar face on the red carpet at prestigious award ceremonies like the Oscars, Baftas, MTV Awards, Brits, and Grammys.
Beyond his work at Sky News, Joe expanded his presence by providing regular TV and film reviews on shows such as 'The Saturday Show' on Channel 5, 'The Wright Stuff' on Channel 5, and 'The TV Club' on BBC Radio 5 Live. Additionally, he freelanced across various outlets, including Reuters, Getty, and Netflix.
Joe's journey led him to Good Morning Britain, where he served as an Entertainment Reporter and Producer, curating content for the programme's daily showbiz segments. His final interview for GMB, before leaving the industry for academia in 2018, was a UK-exclusive sit-down, with Steven Spielberg.
One of Joe's greatest passions is radio football commentary, where he started his career as a regular commentator for Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Portsmouth on local radio.
In a full circle return to his roots, Joe is currently involved in producing an official audio documentary for Portsmouth Football Club and talkSPORT, commemorating the club's 125th anniversary.
