Jonny Manning
Jonny Manning is a journalist at the BBC who covers technology and reports on how wider social issues play out in people’s daily lives. His work brings together beat reporting on the tech sector with grounded, on-the-ground stories that foreground the voices of those affected.
Technology reporting
Manning covers technology for a broad audience, treating it as a news beat rather than a niche specialism. He reports on developments and issues in the sector in clear, direct language, aiming to make complex topics accessible without jargon. His technology coverage sits within the BBC’s general news output, aligning technical change with its implications for everyday users and the wider public conversation.
Community safety and youth behaviour
Alongside his technology work, Manning has reported on community safety and youth behaviour, including a piece on residents living “in fear and misery” because of the actions of local youths. In this reporting he frames the story through the experiences of residents, using their own words to convey the impact on their sense of security and quality of life. The focus stays on what sustained antisocial behaviour does to a neighbourhood, giving space to people who feel intimidated or overlooked by authorities. This people-first framing makes the consequences of public-order problems tangible and concrete, rather than abstract.
Direct, quote-led storytelling
Manning’s use of charged phrases from those he interviews, such as residents describing themselves as “in fear and misery”, shows a preference for letting sources’ own language drive the narrative. He relies on straightforward, unadorned prose and headline writing that reflects how people actually speak about the situations they face. That approach keeps emotion anchored in reported speech rather than commentary, while still making clear what is at stake for the communities he covers.
