Journalism
Document led reporting on justice institutions, information systems and public power.
Public interest reporting
Evidence first
Journalism is a newer professional strand in Ryan's work, drawing on an established background in criminal justice, information rights, public records and legal research.
His reporting uses freedom of information, public records, data analysis, documentary research, interviews and sources to test what institutions say against the available evidence.
Ryan is a journalist. The journalism published here remains editorially distinct from advocacy, casework and other confidential professional activity.
