Dan Wooding

Dan Wooding's career must rate as one of the most unusual in journalism and broadcasting. For he has gone from being a correspondent for the National Enquirer and a staffer on two of Britain's raciest tabloids – the Sunday People and the Sunday Mirror – as well as an interviewer for BBC Radio 1, to an undercover reporter and campaigner for persecuted Christians in the restricted countries of the world. Wooding is the founder and international director of ASSIST (Aid to Special Saints in Strategic Times) based in Lake Forest, California, and is the president and chief editor of the ASSIST News Service that sends stories to 2,600 media outlets around the world.
