My friend and colleague Julie Reid, who has died of a brain tumour aged 56, was an outstanding production editor of the Guardian’s weekday G2 supplement. She was creative, calm and ever ready with the perfect pun for a headline, or an amused eye-roll for one that fell flat.
Warm and fiercely principled, she readily spotted colleagues who needed her support, whether professionally or personally. Her energy was upbeat, her attitude can-do, and she understood the human stories that connect with readers.
