Emily Price
Emily Price is a news editor and political journalist at Nation.Cymru, covering Welsh politics with a strong emphasis on investigative and accountability reporting. She runs the day-to-day organisation of the newsroom while continuing to file her own news stories, exclusives and investigations. Her beat centres on the goings-on of the Senedd and wider Welsh political life, and she regularly breaks news from that arena. Across this work she keeps the focus on how decisions taken by institutions translate into consequences for people affected by them.
Welsh government and infrastructure debates
Price covers major infrastructure rows around Welsh government policy, including debates on the future of the M4 and calls for a relief road after the First Minister pledged a “roads based” solution to congestion. In this strand of her work she stays close to the political argument, setting out what ministers propose and how those decisions are received in the Senedd and beyond.
Abuse inquiries and survivor campaigns
She reports on campaigns for a Wales-wide inquiry into grooming gangs and child sexual exploitation, bringing forward the perspective of survivors who previously gave evidence to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, also known as the Jay Report. In that coverage she follows how individual testimony feeds into calls for new national investigations and changes in how institutions respond to abuse.
These pieces underline a concern with systemic failings as well as with the long-term impact of exploitation on those who come forward.
Investigative reporting and newsroom leadership
Price is an award-winning journalist and author who specialises in investigative journalism and exclusives alongside her political beat. As news editor she organises the masthead’s content management system, edits other reporters’ work and ensures a consistent flow of political and general news coverage. Her professional experience spans news editing, news writing, political reporting, investigative work, breaking news and broadcast formats.
She is BJTC accredited and has received journalism awards, reinforcing a reputation for professional standards and rigorous reporting.
Welsh politics, social movements and culture
Alongside core parliamentary coverage, Price writes on social movements and wider UK political currents, reflecting how national debates play out in Welsh public life. Her portfolio also includes cultural coverage, taking in entertainment and music as part of a broader view of how politics, society and culture intersect.
This spread of work means she can move between hard political news, issue-led campaigns and softer cultural stories while keeping a consistent interest in how power operates and is challenged.
