GUJ mourns death of veteran journalist Cyril D’Cunha

The Goa Union on Journalists mourns the passing away of veteran journalist Cyril D'Cunha on Monday.

He was 91.

A recipient of the state government’s T B Cunha Lifetime Achievement Award in Journalism for 2022, Cyril was founder president of the Sports Journalists Association of Goa and founder member of Goa Union of Journalists, Goa Football Association and the Goa Amateur Athletic Association.

He was the founder editor of The Konkan Mail, Goa’s first bilingual weekly in English and Konkani, and Goal, Goa’s first sports fortnightly. He was also the editor of Vishal Jagruti.

Cyril worked for several publications, prominent among those being The Navhind Times, The Times of India, Free Press Journal, Financial Express, The Indian Post, Independent and Afternoon Despatch & Courier.

His international work includes writing for Tribuna (Macau), Noticias de Portugal, a news agency in Portugal, and NCWC news agency in the United States.

Cyril authored the book ‘Soccer and Goa’, a state government publication that documents the history of Goan football. Cyril was also a fine sportsperson and captained Goa's first hockey team that took part at the National Championships at Madurai in 1967.

The Goa Union of Journalists conveys its sincere sympathies to the family.
