His blogging was first written about in the press during the 7 July 2005 London bombings, and was widely cited as an example of citizen journalism [7] - ironically, as he was a working journalist at the time. By 2009 his site was described by The Guardian as a prominent blog, [8] alongside publications like Paul Staines' Guido Fawkes .
His blogging work led to him being appointed blogging editor for Reed Business Information, [9] leading a push by the business-to-business publisher into blogs. [10] Previously, he was features editor of Estates Gazette , a weekly business magazine for the UK commercial real estate industry.
Tinworth has become known as a commenter, writer and analyst of digital media and its inter-relationship with journalism. His work initially was in the trade press, [11] but expanded later to cover wider issues in more general forms of journalism. His work was quoted in The Guardian regularly during the late 2000s, [12] presenting his comments on areas including journalistic blogging [13] and the rise of paywalls. [14]
In recent years, he has participated in evolving business models for online publishers. [15] He has also participated in the debate around "fake news", [6] and been interviewed, [16] in his role as a journalism lecturer at City, University of London, on social media's role in its spread. He is regularly interviewed by trade sites for journalists. [17] [18] [19]
While no longer a working journalist, he occasionally breaks stories like the closing of Friends Reunited, [20] and the arrival of a new Kindle typeface. [21]
Tinworth's work has been quoted in books, [22] media articles [23] and academic papers [24] about digital journalism. He is one of the panel that contributes to the annual Reuters Institute study Journalism, Media, and Technology Trends and Predictions. [25]
Tinworth was criticised for taking non-traditional journalistic positions during a dispute with the National Union of Journalists, [3] and debates [26] about the future of journalism careers with journalism writer and academic Roy Greenslade.
In parallel to his journalism career, he began writing about RPGs for the British magazine Arcane. [27] He has contributed to over 25 role-playing game books for White Wolf Game Studio, including Werewolf: The Forsaken and Demon: The Fallen , as well as two for Onyx Path. [28]

One Day in History was a single-day initiative by several UK heritage organisations that aimed to provide a historical record of the everyday life of the British public in the early 21st century. Described as the "world's biggest blog", it encouraged UK citizens to write diary entries of 100–650 words of what they had done on 17 October 2006, and then upload them to the official website of the initiative. The project formed a part of History Matters: Pass It On, a history campaign led by several UK heritage organisations. Submissions were received until 1 November, and 46,000 entries were uploaded in this time, many of which were from students and celebrities. After being available to view on the History Matters website, the archive of the diary entries was moved to the UK Web Archive at the British Library and the library of the University of Sussex. The campaign received mixed reviews, with Institute of Historical Research's David Cannadine and The Guardian's Dave Hill speaking positively of it, whereas journalist John Plunkett termed it to be a "historical record of people with computers".
