Nick Miao is a freelance journalist writing about justice and democracy in London
I’m a local democracy and court reporter documenting how public power is being exercised in our name, both in the criminal justice system and local government.
I was previously the editor-in-chief of The Cheese Grater, a current affairs and satirical magazine at University College London, named ‘Best Publication in London’ during my tenure.
