The NUJ has responded to the announcement of significant additional cuts to the BBC’s operating costs over the coming years and the impact this could have.

The regulator Ofcom made a “fundamental mistake” in provisionally accepting STV’s plans to cut programming and taking arguments made by the company at face value, the NUJ has said.

NUJ reps at the BBC have voted in support of an independent inquiry into “any allegations of inappropriate interference by board members in editorial matters.”

The government has launched the BBC Charter Review, pledging to “future-proof” the BBC and its “world-class journalism”.

The NUJ has urged the UN to condemn the Iranian state's use of extreme language regarding the BBC’s reporting and the country’s justification of its unlawful actions towards the corporation’s staff and their families. 

The NUJ has issued a statement in response to the resignations of Tim Davie, BBC director-general, and Deborah Turness, BBC News chief executive.

Regulator is consulting on changes to corporation's operating licence.

The corporation’s annual report shows a drop in licence fee revenue and a move to becoming a “leaner” organisation.

Ofcom said it could have an adverse impact on competition, the NUJ says the funds should be used to protect local radio.

The union welcomed Tim Davie’s commitment to journalism, but is concerned about the rapid move of operations to BBC Studios and the decline of the public service BBC operation.

At a meeting of the NUJ Dublin Broadcasting branch, Dooley reaffirmed the union’s defence of public service broadcasting and urged government to protect employment and services in RTÉ.

As Dame Elan Closs Stephens takes over as interim chair of the BBC board and head-hunters are searching for a new chair, unions representing the creative sector say it is time to have a new, independent body which represents licence fee payers.

The union has concerns about creeping privatisation and a lack of protection for the corporation's public purposes in radio production.

Michelle Stanistreet, NUJ general secretary, said: “Richard Sharp has shamefully clung to his position as chair for months, whilst all around him could clearly see his time was up, so of course it is a relief and proper that he has now finally resigned."

The BBC’s reputation as a world-class broadcaster is being severely undermined by cuts to the World Service.
