There are many good reasons to defend the BBC, but this is among the most compelling...

#Journalists at @bbcworldservice and @R4WorldTonight are asked to work 26 extra days a year for no extra pay – their @NUJofficial strike is a stand for quality journalism.

Extracting #FOI costs from @BarnieChoudhury would create dangers for all who use #FOIA, and be a threat to all journalists… https://t.co/LRtRMBfTNb

FoI claim threatens freedom to report.. https://t.co/WJvH2r6Wpp #mediafreedom #freespeech #FOI

[Tim Dawson @TimDawsn]

If the Judicial Appointments Commission succeeds in its action to recover £14k from journalist Barnie Choudhury anyone submitting an #FOI request will think twice. https://t.co/QOtK1HqmGT

My friend Tim Dawson has written a fine tribute to Phil Woolas, an even finer man, taken from us way too soon. I am very proud to have known Phil for more than 40 years. Immortal inspiration – Tim Dawson https://t.co/QMFiY3tP23

Not much for freelance journos in HM Gov’s late payment package, but scope for further campaigning: https://t.co/A4XPg8Xb2y #stoppop #paythewriter #

[Press Gazette @pressgazette]

Government proposed late payment reform has been described as "modest" for freelance journalists. It will limit payment terms to 60 days except in "strictly limited exceptions" and the right to charge interest of 8% on unpaid sums will be standard https://t.co/63d93jEBhf

Brave Ukrainian journalists – @nsju_org

@BritishGas I have a question about a FIT licensee switch request and can find no advice on your website nor means of contacting you. What do you suggest?

[Tim Dawson @TimDawsn]

I hear that many journalists' Signal accounts have been under attack from phishing scams. Be very wary of messages from 'Signal support', and turn on your 'registration lock'.

Northern Scotland deserves quality news. Give your support to @NUJofficial members on #STVstrike. Picketing in the snow takes real determination.

[Tim Dawson @TimDawsn]

US media unions have led the way with agreements ensuring that #AI implementation does not damage journalism. @newsguild #NewsNotSlop is a great campaign that deserves all our support: https://t.co/A1lu1Gjl2j

The key issue for journalists in the Government consultation on facial recognition is watch-list transparency: https://t.co/O55EVGmpIn

Delighted to represent @NUJofficial at @ALCS_UK's meeting in Parliament last night. Creators must work together if AI theft is not going to deny us a livelihood. https://t.co/Qpko3gfgAf

[ALCS @ALCS_UK]

.@NUJofficial Organiser @TimDawsn:
"I fear we're saying too little about some of the other implications of AI. We have seen a degradation of the quality of work in news reporting. We've also seen an erosion of people's ability to make a living from news reporting."

Police public order training will be revised in the light of interventions made by NUJ members during a visit to the Metropolitan Police Specialist Training Centre.
