DM2021: Tributes paid to Members of Honour
The union’s latest Members of Honour – Gary Younge, Aidan White and Mary Curtin – were announced to Delegate Meeting on video.
Gary, Aidan and Mary received tributes for their union activism, high-quality journalism and as ambassadors of the NUJ nationally and internationally.
NUJ president Sian Jones introduced colleagues and friends who explained why Gary Younge, award-winning former Guardian journalist, author, broadcaster and academic; Aidan White, NUJ activist now better known for his international work and founder member of the Ethical Journalism Network; and Mary Curtin, distinguished broadcaster who worked for RTÉ and led the joint unions’ group, were so special.
