X-odus: As of 20 January 2025, we have decided to stop publishing content on Elon Musk's platform X. We can no longer ethically participate in a social network that its owner has transformed into a machine of disinformation and propaganda. 👇europeanjournalists.org/blog…

Nice pic @alidabbs - and a compelling (rollicking even) read from Dean Simons. Hope someone somewhere is making a film (or a BD) about a very well lived life. #BandéDessinée

The Joy of Substack. Great to hear from @alidabbs | Autosave is For Wimps on becoming @substack Bestseller (when you’re lazy). “I was surprised at myself how pleased I was. I'm earning what I earned before for writing, just this one thing every week”🙌 londonfreelance.org/fl/2411a…

Journalists who receive #SLAPPS will be able to log them in a new safety tracker being developed by the NUJ that aims to gather more data about incidents of “lawfare” as well as protect reporters from physical and online intimidation #worldpressfreedomday nuj.org.uk/resource/new-jour…

🔊 Thanks to all who joined us last night for our monthly branch meeting. It was our first attempt at a hybrid - thanks to our new chair @alidabbs - and it seems that all went well! So, we plan to repeat the process next time, albeit in a different venue. Hope to see you there 😊

In solidarity with 300+ journalists striking today and on Monday at National World. “We know National World can afford to revise its pay package for staff, ensuring journalists can afford to remain at the jobs they rightly take pride in." Time for a rethink. #NationalWorldStrike
Proud to be standing in solidarity with many of my colleagues again today and on Monday, fighting for a better future for local journalism and for those who follow us in the industry
