A Guardian journalist for over 13 years and currently its financial editor, Pratley’s appointment as journalists’ representative was agreed by The Scott Trust board following his selection as the NUJ’s preferred candidate in an indicative ballot of Guardian and Observer NUJ members.
Nils Pratley said: “It is a privilege to represent the Guardian and Observer journalists on the board of The Scott Trust. I look forward to the challenge as the Trust works to uphold our editorial traditions through these testing times for all media companies.”
Dame Liz Forgan, chair of The Scott Trust, said: “We are delighted to welcome Nils to The Scott Trust board. He has extensive experience as a journalist as well as in depth knowledge across the business and financial sectors and I am confident that he will be an asset to both the Trust and the journalists he is representing.”
Pratley’s appointment follows Heather Stewart’s departure from the Board in March 2016 to become the Guardian’s joint political editor.
