Campaigning for a better Britain every day is at the heart of what the Daily Mirror does everyday. This is why fighting for a cleaner, greener country is at the forefront of their agenda. As the newspaper’s first environment editor, Nada has had a string of exclusives, helped win a campaign and have a weekly column tackling the issues at the heart of our changing world. Each week she helps to expose, reveal and report on the environmental, conservation and science stories from on our doorstep to the far corners of the globe - crunching down complex issues to explain how and why they affect the lives of our readers. Nada was awarded the Science and Environment Journalism prize at the British Journalism Awards in 2019.
“Last August, I travelled to Greenland to witness firsthand the impact of climate change. Here I found a community battling to adjust to its new reality in the midst of a 22C heatwave. The melting ice is not only having a catastrophic impact on sea levels but also having a human impact too tearing families apart and threatening livelihoods, identities and lives. The trip resulted in a three-day series and a powerful front-page helping to break down the barrier that climate change is only an issue for readers of a certain class or broadsheets, as well as breaking down the science for all to understand.”
