There has been an acute escalation in the persecution of UK-based Iranian journalists – including scores of NUJ members – and their families.

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

The NUJ has called for an urgent reconsideration of the BBC’s funding after yet more damaging cuts across the corporation were unveiled today.

Tim Davie told the IFJ conference that individual countries need to fight to be able to tell their own stories and news.

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.

Calls to pause and rethink cuts to BBC local radio were taken to the heart of Westminster on 3 July, as a huge petition was handed into 10 Downing Street.

Their concerns were echoed by MPs from all parties, the length and breadth of England, in a House of Commons backbench debate.

Following a grilling of BBC director general Tim Davie at the Culture Media and Sport Select Committee, in which he revealed no formal consultation had taken place over cuts to BBC local radio, the NUJ is calling for the corporation to “pause and engage” over the unpopular cuts.

The broadcaster must recognise the damaging impact of recent decisions and engage fully with the union, to reach a solution in the dispute over cuts to local radio.
