The Journalist June July, 2023
This edition looks at the growth of in the number of specialist reporters covering trade unions, the NUJ's strike over BBC local radio and reports from Delegate Meeting.
This edition's cover feature looks at the gradual return of a once mighty reporting corps – industrial correspondents. As strikes have returned to the news, there has been a growth in the number of specialist reporters covering trade unions. The union’s own dispute with the BBC has been in the news too with a two-day strike in protest against the corporation’s plans to cut local broadcasting services in England.
The Journalist also has reports from the NUJ’s policy-making delegate meeting and features on reporting climate change, media life in Manchester and opportunities for students to break into journalism.
I hope you enjoy this edition.
