NewsGuild-CWA has shared a message of support with BBC journalists following Donald Trump’s threat to sue the UK public service broadcaster for defamation.

The NUJ has welcomed the finding by the Scottish government that legislation needs to be introduced to combat strategic lawsuits against public participation – commonly referred to as SLAPPs.

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 union is among 29 organisations urging the Seanad to act over anti-SLAPP provisions.

Use the NUJ’s online tool to inform us of incidents including of abuse, harassment and legal proceedings made against you.

The House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee has published its report including recommendations on support for local media, action on AI and legislation to tackle SLAPPs.

The union is encouraging journalists to use the online reporting tool capturing incidents of harassment, abuse and “lawfare” targeted at journalists across the UK and Ireland.

Anti-SLAPP provisions, PSNI surveillance and investment in public service broadcasting were among topics discussed at the two day meeting.

Baroness Stowell warns Lord Chancellor of "significant risk"

More than 60 editors, lawyers, journalists, academics and experts call for the Anti-SLAPP Bill to be amended to ensure it can protect everyone speaking out in the public interest.

The European Council has adopted the anti-SLAPP directive with safeguards to protect media freedom and journalists facing strategic lawsuits against public participation. 

NUJ expresses solidarity with journalists in the Philippines facing threats to their safety in targeted attacks within cities and provinces.  

The union has welcomed a judgment in favour of journalist Malachi O'Doherty, in "vexatious" defamation proceedings brought by Gerry Kelly MLA.

The Private Members’ Bill marks a “crucial milestone for the UK to stamp out all SLAPPs targeting public interest reporting.”

Séamus Dooley, NUJ Irish secretary, describes Sinn Féin TD Chris Andrews' legal proceedings against political journalist Harry McGee and the Irish Times as a "sinister development."

Legal threats, journalists’ safety and online abuse all feature in the refreshed publication.

NUJ joins over 60 signatories in calling for urgent legislation to protect journalists.

The union will represent members through its seat, noting the taskforce as a “significant step in tackling the scourge of strategic litigation aimed at crushing freedom of expression.”

Union calls for journalists' protections on all SLAPP cases, and not those limited in scope to economic crime.
