Editor of Welsh-language publication Golwg resigns

The Welsh-language publication’s editor, Golwg, is stepping down.

Garmon Ceiro, who edited Golwg magazine and news site Golwg360 for two years, revealed he was leaving the company before the end of the month.

Before joining Golwg in March 2020, he worked for the Welsh Government and as a columnist for the Welsh-language newspaper Y Cymro.

In his latest editorial column for the magazine, he said: ‘I started on the threshold of the first lockdown going to the Caernarfon office to say helo – before having to get back on the train on the same day the first major lockdown was announced .

“As I dodged the dangerous cough of the rickety old train from north to south and tested the deputy editor on how we would continue to publish under lockdown, I don’t think I fully understood the enormity of this was coming, and that we would, in effect, be stuck in our homes for the rest of my time at the helm.

“But we pulled it off – and I have all the staff to thank for that. There were a few issues – poor internet connections, roadworks happening right outside the windows – but Golwg went to press every week, full of interesting stuff.

He went on to add that Golwg’s publications were in good hands and that he would continue to contribute to the magazine in an occasional column.
