Main feature 12 Close in and win The quest for copyright justice


opyright has been under sustained attack in the digital age, whether it is through flagrant breaches by people hoping they can use photos and content without paying or genuine


ignorance by some who believe that if something is downloadable then it’s free. Photographers


and the NUJ spend a lot of time and energy chasing copyright. This edition’s cover feature by Mick Sinclair looks at a range of practical, good-spirited ways of making sure you’re paid what you’re owed. It can take a bit of detective work. Data in all its forms is another big theme of this edition. Whether it’s working within the confines of the new general data protection regulations or finding the best way to communicate securely with sources, data is an increasingly important part of our work. Ruth Addicott looks at the implications of the new data laws for journalists and Simon Creasey considers the best forms of keeping communication with sources private.


On other pages Denis MacShane, an avowed European, looks


at how Brexit has created a new newspaper and Terry Wardle celebrates campaigning journalism. I’m pleased to say that the Your Say pages are especially full in this edition following a lot of positive reaction to The Journalist on Twitter. Do please email and tweet comments to keep this important section in good health.
