Staff at STV News are to hold a one-day strike on 7 January over compulsory redundancies and the broadcaster’s plans to axe the north edition of its News at 6 programme.

The National Union of Journalists has criticised proposals by Ofcom which would allow STV to axe its separate news programme for the north of Scotland.

NUJ members at STV have voted overwhelmingly to take industrial action over the Scottish broadcaster’s plans to make compulsory redundancies and to axe the STV North edition of the News at 6.

The NUJ has noted with concern that during Monday’s Culture Media and Sport Committee hearing, Sir Robbie Gibb stated that he has become involved in editorial matters.

The NUJ has written to BBC leadership to arrange a meeting to address concerns raised by members and to highlight the union’s longstanding calls for improved conditions.

The NUJ notes the BBC’s apology to President Donald Trump over the editing of a speech in a Panorama programme, and welcomes the comprehensive rejection of his claim of defamation.

The NUJ has called for worker representation and independent appointments to the BBC board ahead of culture secretary Lisa Nandy's urgent statement to parliament today.

Members of the National Union of Journalists working at STV are to be balloted for strike action over the proposed axing of the STV North edition of the News at 6, as well as associated compulsory redundancies.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has told MPs that STV’s decision to axe News at 6 North in its current form regardless of what Ofcom says is “arrogance beyond belief”.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has described the proposed axing of STV North’s News at 6 programme and up to 30 job cuts in the newsroom as “an act of cultural vandalism for journalism in Scotland.”

The NUJ has condemned plans announced today by STV to make 60 redundancies and significant changes to coverage following a disappointing financial statement to the City.

The union has joined the International Federation of Journalists in condemning targeted Israeli strikes against the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in Tehran.

The NUJ is campaigning against cuts to jobs and programmes at the BBC and World Service for its harmful impact on journalists and journalism.

Chairs of three House of Commons committees have highlighted the soft power value of the BBC and its role in supporting high quality journalism, amid calls for action to ensure the World Service income becomes less reliant on the licence fee.

The BBC has today announced its plans to make £6m in savings within the World Service to close the shortfall caused by the freezing of the licence fee.

NUJ members and trade union colleagues will demonstrate against the ongoing funding crisis at RTÉ at lunchtime today.

NUJ members working across BBC Local in tv, online and radio have expressed they no longer have confidence in BBC senior leadership.
