The National Union of Journalists (founded in 1907) is the trade union of British and Irish journalists and – with around 35,000 members – one of the largest journalists’ trade unions in the world. As well as journalists in the narrowest sense of the word it is open to all persons who are primarily active in the editorial field. The National Press Card of the NUJ is recognised by the British police (ACPOS) and public-sector bodies. All of the important media organisations accept the press pass, including BBC, Sky and Reuters. The press pass enjoys a high degree of prestige and in the United Kingdom represents a kind of mark of honour for journalists. Cost: £30.00 per year. |
