Lady (Jodi) Cudlipp, widow of the late Lord Hugh Cudlipp, has died at her Chichester home.
She was 97 and had been ill for some time.
A former journalist herself, she became a fierce defender of her late husband’s memory after the former Mirror Group editor, editorial director and chairman died in 1998.
Jodie also was for many years a judge and presenter of the British Journalism Review’s Hugh Cudlipp Award, presented annually as part of the Press Awards, and a member of the organising committee of the annual Hugh Cudlipp Lecture.
