Jim Bradley (journalist)
Henry James Bradley (1904 – 1991) was a British journalist and trade unionist.
Bradley began work as a journalist with the Craven Chronicle, then moved to the Evening Chronicle in Manchester, where he remained for many years. He joined the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) in 1923, and gradually came to prominence in the union, being elected to its National Executive Committee in 1945, and then as the union's general secretary in 1952.[1]
Under Bradley's leadership, membership of the NUJ increased significantly; by his retirement in 1969, it had doubled to over 24,000. From 1964 to 1970, he also served as president of the International Federation of Journalists.[1]
In 1969, Bradley was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.[1]
