Jason Nisse is a former journalist who now works in PR as a director at Newgate Public Relations, and before that as a director for four years at Fishburn Hedges.[1]
Biography
Jason Nisse was public relations director of Barclays Bank for just under a year [1]. He left in spring 2007.[2]
He was former Business Editor of The Independent on Sunday from 2001 to 2006. A journalist for nearly 20 years, he has written on the business of sport, the City, banking, media and international business. [2]
He has a track record of stories about the nuclear industry, from exposing a secret Government plan to bail out the beleaguered nuclear company British Energy, to revealing that BNFL has been shooting and secretly storing nuclear-contaminated seagulls at Sellafield. [3] [4]
Links with nuclear industry
Nisse is a non-executive director of Nirex, the government-owned company that advises on options for the long-term disposal of radioactive materials in the UK. Nirex announced his appointment on November 25, 2005. [5] [6]
Nisse announced the appointment in the Independent on Sunday:
- 'Last week, I became a non-executive director of Nirex, the Government- owned body charged with building a repository to store nuclear waste. Just to put it in context, no decision has been made to build a repository, but a recommendation is due to come next year from the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management, which could lead to a repository being built. Before accepting this post, both I and the editors and managers here considered whether this might cause a conflict of interest. However, as I have long held the view that a repository for nuclear waste needs to be built and have said so in these pages, we felt the risk was minimal. If serious conflicts do occur, my primary duty is to the readers of the Independent on Sunday, and I will stand down from Nirex.' [7]
