“Pressing ahead [with cuts to 2,000 jobs and valued programming] now would be both damaging and premature, especially with Charter Renewal on the horizon. This should be a moment to strengthen the BBC's future, not to weaken it further.”

The NUJ has welcomed the "clear and unambiguous vindication" of Vincent Kearney, who will receive £20,000 in damages from MI5 and PSNI in a landmark judgment.

Séamus Dooley, NUJ assistant general secretary, said:

“Today’s judgment is not only a welcome vindication of Vincent, it also reinforces the need for a judge-led inquiry into the unlawful surveillance of journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders by police and security forces."

Full reaction below:

The NUJ has welcomed a decision by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) to order MI5 and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) to pay £20,000 in damages to journalist and union member Vincent Kearney over sustained unlawful surveillance.

The NUJ Reach group chapel said:

“The continued haemorrhaging of experienced and talented journalists risks undermining [the shift to digital subscriptions and video content]. These initiatives will lean heavily on the creation of original and quality content.”

The NUJ has warned that the continued “hemorrhaging” of journalists across Reach puts the publisher's financial future at risk and will further harm staff morale, with the company announcing more proposed cuts.

The NUJ PA chapel said:

“For more than 20 years, PA staff have chosen to build careers and homes in the market town of Howden in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Many have expressed deep sorrow at the prospect of leaving the area and are concerned at the potential impact that shutting the office might have on the local community."

Chris Morley, NUJ Northern & Midlands senior organiser, said:

"There is an extensive consultation now underway where the NUJ will be working hard to achieve the best possible outcomes and supporting individual members closely in the time we have to ensure their personal circumstances are given proper regard by the company. It is essential that the company finds a way to retain and accommodate as many staff as possible to maintain the journalistic quality and experience that made the company’s name.”

NUJ members at the Press Association have responded to the company’s proposal to close its northern hub at Howden in Yorkshire and transfer operations to Leeds.

Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said:

“There’s no clear justification for the section 37 carve-out [...] It undermines press freedom and journalists' right to report, obstructing their ability to uncover stories in the public interest and hold the highest public institution in the land to account.”

The NUJ has backed legislative proposals to bring the King and the Royal Household under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act with the aim of promoting transparency and press freedom.
