Good piece by @Jenny__Sims in the latest Journalist mag on the Ofcom report “Understanding misinformation”. It highlights the need to restore trust in mainstream journalism – which is exactly what we are calling for in a motion at April’s Delegates Meeting.

Deeply troubling to anyone that has ever taught me but, for the tiny subset of professional connections who follow me here but not on LinkedIn, I have a new job as News Innovation Research Fellow at @MediaCymru_ & @CardiffJomec. Will try not to be terrible at it.

Good to talk to @theipaper about the importance of increasing the #StatePension each year for those whose only income is from SP and #benefits. Their voices are often hidden in #triplelock debate but they desperately need that extra money #pensioners inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

@NPCUK @NPC_Wales @OPCWales @HelenaHerklots We've had an independent Older People's Commission in #Wales since 2008, able to hold the government to account - the first country in the world to legislate for one. Ireland followed in 2008. About time England caught up!
Ageing Better@Ageing_Better
In 10 years there will be over 13 million people aged 65 or over in England! We need a Commissioner for Older People and Ageing to ensure our government prepares for our ageing population. Learn more by following the link below. ageing-better.org.uk/commissioner-o…

Ageing Better@Ageing_Better
The recently passed Flexible Working Act and Carer’s Leave Act are both a real win for employees, especially those with caring responsibilities or health conditions. But our Public Affairs Officer, Christos Tuton, says there is still more to be done. ageing-better.org.uk/blogs/new-priv…
