Not much for freelance journos in HM Gov’s late payment package, but scope for further campaigning: tinyurl.com/5xky7d2y #stoppop #paythewriter #

Government proposed late payment reform has been described as "modest" for freelance journalists. It will limit payment terms to 60 days except in "strictly limited exceptions" and the right to charge interest of 8% on unpaid sums will be standard nuj.org.uk/resource/crumb…

@BritishGas I have a question about a FIT licensee switch request and can find no advice on your website nor means of contacting you. What do you suggest?

I hear that many journalists' Signal accounts have been under attack from phishing scams. Be very wary of messages from 'Signal support', and turn on your 'registration lock'.

Northern Scotland deserves quality news. Give your support to @NUJofficial members on #STVstrike. Picketing in the snow takes real determination.

'Kill fees' damage journalists and journalism. If you agree, the Government wants to know...

McCullough Review highlights need for government to blow the whistle on illegal surveillance, says NUJ. NUJ's Séamus Dooley said the NUJ views the Review as "a valuable starting point with key recommendations which, if adopted, would help ensure strict adherence to best practice by the PSNI."

Strong stand taken by @trevorbirney and Barry McCaffrey @NUJofficial vindicated by McCullough Review. @AmnestyUK CAJ and @NUJofficial continue to demand action on other surveillance in Northern ireland. McCullough just one chapter.
