Moore, Nick

Nicholas Moore was born in 1941 and spent his childhood in Africa. He joined Reuters as a trainee from Cambridge University in 1964 and reported from Pakistan, East Africa - where he covered the 1971 coup in which Idi Amin took power in Uganda - and the Lebanon, before becoming oil correspondent in 1980. He led a Reuters reporting team that in 1982 won the Prix Bernard J. Cabanes for covering the OPEC cartel. During the 1980's, based in Cairo, he was roving correspondent in the Middle East before he returned to oil at the end of the decade. He retired as training editor in 2000.
