STAND UP FOR JOURNALISM SPECIAL

On November 5th, NUJ members across all sectors and regions will take part in a day of action in defence of quality and standards in media, against job cuts and for fair pay and decent pensions. The NUJ is urging EVERY member, chapel and branch to get involved. For more ideas and resources visit www.standupforjournalism.org.uk.

Online petition
Please sign the petition and urge non-members to do the same. It is our chance to send a loud and clear message to all media owners about the importance we as professionals attach to having the necessary resources - staff, terms and conditions, budgets - to enable us to produce quality media.
