The Journalists’ Charity’s Wales Committee are shocked and saddened to hear of the death of our friend and colleague Nick Powell.

Nick, a distinguished political journalist and editor with extensive decades-long experience in Welsh broadcasting and latterly international affairs, is reported to have died of natural causes while attending a media conference in Azerbaijan for online political journal EU Reporter.

We are delighted to announce the charity’s latest campaign which highlights the vital role being played by journalists during these most uncertain times. It’s already won the support of national media, and we’re hoping to promote our message on as many platforms and networks as possible, so your support would be greatly appreciated.
