The NUJ has been granted core participant status for the inquiry and we are asking members to contact NUJ general secretary Michelle Stanistreet with views and experiences that can inform our response.

 

The union can represent the voices of journalists and give evidence to the inquiry.

 

Please contact Michelle via email: leveson@nuj.org.uk 

Michelle will be dealing with all queries personally and in complete confidence. 

 

Michelle has written to all members inviting them to put forward their views. Many journalists come to the NUJ because they have been victims of a bullying newsroom culture that puts them under immense pressure to get the story, whatever it takes.
