NUJ remembers Dom Phillips

The NUJ is holding an exhibition in memory of London Freelance Branch member Dom Phillips, who was killed in June while researching a book in the Brazilian Amazon - alongside Bruno Pereira, a former official with the country's Indian Affairs department.

It's open from 18 to 20 January at NUJ headquarters on London's Gray's Inn Road.
