As a radio commentator to American audiences his build-up was, "The Man Who Looks Like Winston Churchill".
Sydney Moseley was the announcer on the occasion of the first experimental television broadcast made by the BBC 30 September 1929. 
In July 1930 he was joint producer with Lance Sieveking of the first televised play broadcast by the BBC: Luigi Pirandello's experimental "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth".
Despite supporting news censorship during wartime, in August 1944 Moseley broke the news story on the America Mutual Broadcasting System radio network about the allies' Operation Mincemeat ruse.
As an author, The Bookseller's reviews for August 1921 stated,
"[T]hose who have read his previous books know well Mr. Moseley possesses exceptional powers of vivid description and forceful writing. He can make his readers see the various scenes and incidents almost as if with his own eyes, and the artistic skill with which he emphasises the salient features or contrasts effectively one scene with another is in evidence on every page."
