Nick Clarke
The presenter of Radio 4’s The World at One Nick Clarke, has died of cancer aged 58.
I never really heard his programme – I’ve only recently started switching between Radios 1 and 4 – but from the number and level of tributes to him, it’s clear he was a journalist to aspire to.
Tony Blair, Margaret Beckett, Jack Straw and all of the names from journalism have paid tribute, only half an hour after his death was announced. Listening to a special edition of The World at One this lunchtime, their respect for Nick makes it pretty clear he was a fearsome journalistic opponent who didn’t go in for some of the ‘nasty’ tactics of his fellow broadcasters.

I still find it a little distasteful that tribute programmes etc come out as soon as possible after someone’s died. Today’s WaO was less than 24 hours after wasn’t it?
