Heartfield has written for Art Review, Spiked Online, and The Times Education Supplement. Heartfield has had articles published in The Guardian, the Telegraph, The Times, Blueprint, the Architects' Journal, the Review of Radical Political Economy, Rising East, Cultural Trends, and the Platypus Review.

Heartfield has been critical of government policies on the creative industries, talking and writing on the illusions of the knowledge economy. In the 1980s he was a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Nick Bell named Heartfield as "one of the most important commentators on design". In May 2006, with Julia Svetlichnaja he interviewed the Russian dissident, Alexander Litvinenko. The interviews were published after Litvinenko's death.

He lives in north London and is married with two daughters, Holly and Daisy.
