The BBC contributed £6.7bn to the UK economy and supported 79,000 jobs in 24/25.

Public service broadcasting generates unrivalled economic and cultural value. It’s clear we must prevent further cuts and #BackTheBBC. If you agree, sign our joint petition:

“That a major bank appears to have cut off an independent publisher’s financial access without clear explanation sets a disturbing precedent for press freedom in the UK," said Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary.

"The NUJ had hoped that Lyra's family would find solace by securing a conviction through the judicial process.

"Mrs Justice Smyth determined clearly and unambiguously that Lyra McKee had been murdered. However, not guilty verdicts were returned against the three accused.

"It remains a matter of grave concern that no one was charged with the shooting of Lyra McKee; the person who pulled the trigger got off scot-free. In this case, someone has gotten away with the murder of a journalist - just as happened in the case of Martin O'Hagan.

"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Lyra's family, partner, and friends at this incredibly difficult and distressing time."

- Séamus Dooley (@Seamusdo), NUJ assistant general secretary.
