Vote Richard Simcox for Journalist editor
In the next few days NUJ members will receive a ballot paper to vote for a new editor of the Journalist - the union's magazine. This full-time job is elected by the whole membership.
Please give your first preference vote to Richard Simcox.
Here's his campaign website http://richsimcox.co.uk .
For the past three years Richard has enjoyed enormous success as the editor of an activists' magazine and website for the Public and Commercial Services union - one of the UK's biggest trade unions.
Earlier in his career Richard, who grew up in Dudley, was a union rep at a Newsquest-owned paper in south London.
He helped to organise a strong chapel which won big rises for the lowest paid through negotiation and the threat of industrial action.
Richard knows what it's like to worry about your student loans and your pension, to be a journalist in the multi-platform media age, and to fight over job cuts and low pay.
He offers a unique combination - experience as editor of a major union’s magazine and as a committed grassroots NUJ activist.
Richard has pulled together a coalition of scores of hard-working reps and officers, from all sections of the union, who trust him to produce the Journalist - online and in print - that we need to keep the union united and strong.
Richard has the skills, commitment and energy to inspire the next generation of activists, and Action Without Theory is proud to support his campaign.
Please vote Richard Simcox 1.
