@iMcKenzied Your frothing invective is bringing analogies into disrepute - ‘apartheid’, ‘heroin’ - surely ‘cancer’ is due for an outing? Smaller electoral areas are no guarantee of proportionality as anyone familiar with London borough elections should know.

Deeply troubling new #spyware that has already targeted #journalists. Protecting sources requires meticulous phone safeguarding: https://t.co/FR2d3WK7IM

#NWTMJP @AlexCrawfordSky (from Yemen): The toil (of war reporting) is ongoing. It has an impact. It is not a normal life. I am driven by wanting to get to places that (other) people can’t get to and break through the propaganda and disinformation. @NUJOfficial @NUJ_LFB

#NWTMJP John McEvoy: "The backdrop for platforms in the independent sector, like Declassified UK where I work, is healthy. There are many more subscribers now as well as the possibility of grants. The sector is growing consistently. @NUJofficial @NUJ_LFB

#NWTMJP Grace Livingstone "For investigations to work, as a freelance, you have to think about asll strands and program slots you can fit your research. I write environmental news, which also fills consumer, human interest and business slots, for example.".

#NWTMJP Sarah Burton (SoA): "Copyright (in book publishing) is like a cake – each way that your work can be exploited is like a different slice. Working out which rights to sell and which to hold back is vital".

#NWTMJP James Spackman: “As a literary agent my responsibility is holding publishers to the commitments they have made to authors, to making sure writers get a fair deal”. @NUJofficial

#NWTMJP Eleanor Mills: "Remember what made you become a journalist and lean into that niche. Find lucrative work with corporates. Become a spokesperson. Women who have been through the most end up the happiest. " @NUJofficial @NUJ_LFB

Gearing up for an exciting examination of New Ways To Make Journalism Pay #NWTMJP with @NUJofficial and @NUJ_lfb

[Tim Dawson @TimDawsn]

A great show on the @NUJofficial picket at The Lancet demanding real negotiations for fair pay.

[Tim Dawson @TimDawsn]

The Lancet is among the world’s pre-eminent scientific journals whose staff deserve pay that keeps pace with inflation. Solidarity and best wishes to its @NUJofficial chapel, striking today for just that. #SolidarityForScience

I really enjoyed @cwexplore’s account of his 43,000 bike ride – even if it strengthened my instinct that such globe trotting is not for me!

I’ve been cycling #Scotland for 40 years, but still can’t wait for @jackthurston's latest – he dependably illuminates any landscape, and inspires me to follow his tracks. https://t.co/YgkVMRTNDS

[Tim Dawson @TimDawsn]

London-based #photographer and @NUJofficial member #KlausThymann appears in a Ugandan in court 1 July on fabricated charges of bribary, and 10 years in prison. Help amplify concerns for his welfare, and call for charges to be dropped.

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.
