The union's BBC World Service branch has passed a motion highlighting ongoing concerns over funding, whilst calling for an end to the "annual cycle of uncertainty around budgets."

The NUJ is campaigning against cuts to jobs and programmes at the BBC and World Service for its harmful impact on journalists and journalism.

Chairs of three House of Commons committees have highlighted the soft power value of the BBC and its role in supporting high quality journalism, amid calls for action to ensure the World Service income becomes less reliant on the licence fee.

The NUJ BBC World Service branch has passed a motion opposing job cuts in the UK and overseas announced by the broadcaster this week.

The BBC has today announced its plans to make £6m in savings within the World Service to close the shortfall caused by the freezing of the licence fee.

The NUJ has warned of long-term harm to the BBC without urgent investment, following its announcement of new cuts to news and current affairs programming.

The union welcomed Tim Davie’s commitment to journalism, but is concerned about the rapid move of operations to BBC Studios and the decline of the public service BBC operation.

The union is disappointed that the government has reneged on a six-year funding agreement on the licence fee which is likely to put further pressure on budgets. The union is also concerned that an announced review of funding failed to make any reference to its role a public service broadcaster.

The NUJ has voted to move to a formal ballot of all members at the BBC for industrial action in opposition to any compulsory redundancies at the corporation.
