National Union of Journalists (NUJ)
The
NUJ is a union of journalists in the UK and Ireland founded in 1907, which is a
member of the International Federation of Journalists.
Reasons the NUJ is
important:
Equality: There is less chance for judgement
in a unionised workplace.
NUJ Extra: This registered charity
helps members and their colleagues when something goes wrong.
Health and safety: Union reps have
powers to ensure the risks of injury or ill-health are cut or at least reduced
in the work place.
Legal support: Every year the NUJ
helps hundreds of members win damages from businesses and their clients.
Press freedom:
The union defends journalists and press when it/they come under attack.
Ethics: The NUJ has its own code of
conduct and support their members.
Press Complaints Commission (PCC)
The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) is
a voluntary governing body for British printed newspapers and
magazines, involving legislatures of the major publishers. It has no legal controls
and all newspapers and magazines voluntarily donate to the costs of, and obey
to the decisions of, the Commission, making the business self-regulating.
