Online Editor | Nicola Blackburn | [email protected] |@nn_blackburn

Hi! I’m Nicola and I’m editor at XCityPlus. I’m so thrilled to show you our work from a very (very!) talented pool of journalists! I work with our sub-teams to make sure all the elements of XCityPlus come together. I write about a range of topics – here financial fraud, journalists in exile and more. When there’s a human side to the story, I want to write it!
