Duncan works at IIED as a Senior Researcher in the National Resources Group and Team Leader of the Forest team. Duncan is an expert in forest business with particular experience in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa. He has also previously worked as the Deputy Manager of the UK Department for International Development’s Forestry Research Programme. Blog posts discuss news and current affairs liked in forestry and sustainability and would be of interest to charities and people that support charities in this area. There are on average about 10 blog posts a month, varying in length. PR opportunities lie within expert comment and opinion and Duncan can be reached via telephone or email or through the online contact form. PRs are advised to familiarise themselves with the content of the blog before approaching.

The Duncan Trussell Family Hour is a weekly podcast covering Art, Society, Politics, Religion, and more. A podcast is a downloadable video or audio broadcast show. Most podcasts are available by subscription through an RSS reader or other aggregator. The fundamentals of working with podcasters are the same as with traditional journalists at traditional media outlets: respect their schedules; take time to watch or listen to their material to learn their interests; and only contact them if/when they want to be contacted.
