News of Nick Clarke's death reached the Radio At The Edge conference during the morning. To those of us who didn't know how far his health had deteriorated since his surgery it was a big shock. His former colleague Tim Maby, who's now working on podcasts and audio streams for The Guardian, paid a moving tribute to Nick during his session and I'm sure the Academy will find the right time and the right place to recognise Nick's enormous contribution to journalism and radio in general and to the art of political interviewing in particular. We send our condolences and good wishes to Barbara and their children.
