Andy Worthington is a freelance investigative journalist, author, filmmaker and photographer, specializing in Guantánamo and the “war on terror,” but also covering the opportunistic “age of austerity” imposed in the UK by the Tory-led coalition government. In May 2012, he also embarked on a major project of social history — photographing the whole of London by bike, providing a detailed visual account (with accompanying text and essays) of the fabric of London at this particular time. In 2013, in recognition of his work on Guantánamo, he was short-listed for the prestigious Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism.
