National Union of Journalists
Clutching his certificate and a £700 cheque after the awards ceremony at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, a delighted Greg said: 'It's third time lucky.'
Twice a runner-up in the prestigious competition, his ITV Wales documentary programme 'Living with Dementia' (27/9/2011) this time outclassed an impressive shortlist of TV and radio broadcasters to gain him a first.
Jo Waters told the audience this year's competition had attracted a record number of entries 'of the very highest calibre.'
Winner of the Guild of Health Writers 2012 Award for the best broadcasting programme, Greg Lewis, freelance producer and NUJ Cardiff & SE Wales branch member is congratulated by Jo Waters, Guild chair, and Dr Michael Dixon, OBE, Guild president.
The Cardiff and South-East Wales Branch of the NUJ has over 300 members. These include print journalists, broadcasters, freelancers, photographers, researchers, PR professionals and journalism students. Although we all do different types of work, we have many shared concerns and interests.
Everybody who works in the media knows the industry is going through a painful transition. Job losses, pay freezes, under-staffing, lower freelance rates and longer hours have become facts of life. But it's not all doom-and-gloom! The digital revolution also presents opportunities for journalists to enhance their skills, do a greater variery of work and have more enriching professional lives.
The National Union of Journalists helps media professionals cope with the pressures of the ever-changing industry, while also encouraging its members to make the most of their talents and passion.
This website is designed to encourage members in Cardiff and South East Wales to get involved with branch activities, to mingle with fellow professionals, to discuss journalism and media issues, and to develop their skills.
Sadly for the branch, Gary Merrill has left Cardiff to join the teaching staff at Buckinghamshire New University. Very best wishes in your new job, Gary!
Lila Haines is standing in until the branch AGM, but the message is the same: It's your website! It's important that this website is relevant and useful to as many members as possible. If you have any suggestions, please leave them on our forum or contact Lila directly lila@lilahaines.com.
