His publications include the magazines VIP and New York Dog (both with former business partner, Michael O'Doherty) and the websites blogorrah.com, and Broadsheet.ie. In 2009 Ryan also created and starred in a RTÉ Two comedy television show This is Nightlive, which mimicked the antics of Ireland's newscasters and other newsroom members.
Ryan grew up in Monkstown, County Dublin and was educated at Christian Brothers College, Monkstown Park. A number of his relatives, including his father John Ryan Snr, were well known in the arts scene in Dublin. His grandfather, Séamus Ryan, was a Senator in the Irish Parliament whilst his aunt Kathleen Ryan was an actress.
Ryan started his career in journalism with a local newspaper in north London, 'The Hornsey Journal'. Ryan served as a war correspondent during his early years, reporting from Bosnia, Rwanda and apartheid South Africa. He was also editor of Magill magazine and The Sunday Times Culture section in addition to journalism with the Sunday Independent.
In 1999 whilst editing the Culture section and working as a journalist at The Sunday Times, Ryan broke the story of the long time affair between the former Taoiseach and Terry Keane, a columnist of The Keane Edge at The Sunday Independent. Keane had left The Sunday Independent on bad terms and Ryan, who had worked with her at The Sunday Independent, approached her to sell her story to The Times.
