Our members are journalists, reporters, editors, copywriters, sub-editors, web editors and graphic designers. You may be starting up your own magazine, working on a small specialist title, or working for one of the giants, like Reed Business Information, Emap or IPC Media.

 

Our members work in many different areas including editorial, production and marketing. To check if you are eligible to join contact us.

 

NUJ campaigns in the magazine sector are aimed at improving poor rates of pay, combating excessive overtime, securing proper breaks, tackling redundancies and promoting quality and professionalism. At any one time we may be winning a pay-rise in one workplace, defending an individual against bullying in another or campaigning to protect copyright among our freelances.

 

We can also help provide you with advice on ethical matters where difficult issues arise or help provide high-quality training opportunities.
