Magazine and TV career

His first job in journalism was as a researcher for the women's magazine Bella in 1995. Two years later, he was promoted to commissioning editor. Daubney then became the features editor for the men's lifestyle magazine, FHM in the late 1990s. After this, he was the editor of page3.com for the tabloid newspaper The Sun. He then wrote articles for the sports section of the tabloid newspaper News of the World before becoming the deputy editor of the men's lifestyle magazine Loaded in February 2003. In September that year, he was promoted to editor. In 2007, he organised a straight pride march as he felt that heterosexuality was being "undermined" and becoming "unfashionable".

Daubney left Loaded in November 2010, after sales that peaked in the second half of 1998 to an average of 457,318 copies a month, had fallen to just a monthly average of 53,591. He was the longest serving editor of the magazine. After leaving the magazine, he became a "stay-at-home dad", amid reports that he had postnatal depression following the birth of his first child.

In 2013, Daubney spent six months making a documentary for Channel 4 on pornography addiction called Porn on the Brain. He supports the men's rights movement.
