Main feature 10 Turning to the NUJ How the union is helping amid the crisis


T


his edition is dominated by the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the media, how journalists are working through it, and what the union is trying to do to strengthen the industry.


The crisis is one of the most serious threats to the future of the media in recent times and it’s


important that politicians and the industry now look to the future and the importance of the media. In our news section we outline the NUJ’s recovery plan which would see hard-pressed media organisations helped by a tax on the big technology companies. In our feature section, Ruth Addicott looks at how more


journalists are turning to the union for help and how the crisis could could lead to more people becoming actively involved. Natasha Hirst, chair of the union’s photographers’ council,


looks at how the crisis has been covered by photographers and the different approaches to media access taken in different countries. Josiah Mortimer looks at what state support is being given to the media and assesses the eventual cost. This edition is also the first one for many years to be available


only in a digital format after the union’s emergency committee decided that the union needs to save the printing and postage costs. The Journalist will be online only for two more editions after this. Please spread the word as emails sometimes get overlooked. Here’s hoping that the coronavirus crisis eases soon.
