I am an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, former editor of The Sun newspaper, author and ex-CEO of the Outside Organisation.
On April 23 2026, my 1990’s memoir was published by Harper Collins titled 1996: My Backstage Pass To The Wildest Year Of Britain’s Wildest Decade. The book documents an explosive moment in British creative history and I recall encounters with Oasis, The Spice Girls, Blur, Prime Ministers and royalty as my journalistic career rose during that decade. It features new interviews with Tony Blair, Mel B, Blur’s Alex James, Paul Oakenfold, Shaun Ryder and many more.
Alongside the book release, I have curated a 1996 exhibition at The Barbican focusing on that riotous period.
With 35 years of experience in print, broadcast and digital media, I also now consult in communications and public relations alongside my writing.
Specialising in publicity, crisis management, content creation and telling stories, whatever the platform, I also wrote and collated the book Morgan Howell at 45 RPM with pop artist Morgan Howell FRSA and published in October 2020. It features 95 of Morgan’s giant paintings of 7″ singles, and every artwork features contributions from fans and celebrities with memories and anecdotes about each record, alongside an interview with Morgan.
As editor of the UK’s best-selling daily newspaper I launched The Sun On Sunday in 2012, becoming the first seven-day editor in The Sun’s history, also collecting the London Press Club Newspaper Of The Year award in 2009.
While working as The Sun’s showbusiness editor, I interviewed stars including Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie, U2, Beyonce, Madonna, Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Elton John, Oasis, Coldplay and The Spice Girls.
In 2005 I collected the Hugh Cudlipp award, recognising excellence in popular journalism at the British Press Awards for a campaign to re-record Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas? working closely with Sir Bob Geldof. This led to the Live 8 concert the following year, raising tens of millions of pounds to aid African famine victims. I also received a Sony Gold broadcasting award while working for Virgin Radio for an interview with The Who’s Roger Daltrey. I went on to work with the band and Daltrey’s Teenage Cancer Trust charity as Chief Executive Officer at entertainment public relations firm The Outside Organisation.
In 2019 I founded my own media consultancy – Dominic Mohan Media. I work with CEOs, brands, entrepreneurs, entertainment stars, tech start-ups, authors, artists and film producers, alongside crisis management, journalism, Q&A hosting work, book, exhibition curation and TV projects.
