About Me

Bob Skinner
Hello, I am Bob Skinner. I was born in West Ham, London in 1926. My mother was Welsh, and we moved to Cardiff in 1941. After six years in London in the 1960s, I moved back to Wales with my wife and two children in 1971. I was a journalist for almost 20 years on the Penarth Times and South Wales Argus, and also wrote for many national newspapers. I moved into public relations almost 60 years ago. I wrote about my sixty years in journalism and PR in my book, Don't Hold the Front Page. I have started this blog to record my thoughts on the current coronavirus emergency.
