The media fraternity is mourning the passing of one of its stalwarts veteran journalist Albert Brandford.

Brandford, who was 73, died at his Christ Church home yesterday.

His was a journalism career spanning about a half-century, during which he worked with the Barbados Advocate, Caribbean News Agency and the NATION.

A graduate of the Lodge School, he was prolific in his writing on politics, an area in which he displayed deep insight and understanding, based on his years of covering sittings of Parliament.

After retirement, he returned to the NATION from January this year on a part-time basis, working on the Copy Editing Desk, up until two weeks ago. (GC)
