NUJ backs NCTJ campaign urging the reversal of planned cuts to journalism course funding.

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 union has welcomed ideas outlined by the broadcaster, whilst calling for action to ensure the sustainability of local news and access to programmes.

Motions on the need for long-term reform of the funding of public service broadcasting at RTÉ, and cuts to the winter fuel payment featured.

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 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 fund will provide $1m to media organisations in Palestine and aims to protect the future of media amid ongoing conflict in the region.

The National Union of Journalists has expressed “grave disappointment” at the decision of the Irish government to retain the current TV licence system while welcoming increased funding for RTÉ.

The union is calling on the BBC to review and increase a 1.5 percent uplift to LDRs, to increase required minimum salaries and ensure publishers do not use allocated funds to boost profits.
