“Journalism is and always will be a human endeavour.” - updates on #AI, jobs and rights takes centre stage at #TUC25 this week. #JournalismBeforeAlgorithms Read the report:

"No worker should pay with their life for simply doing their job." @nujofficial.bsky.social general secretary Laura Davison speaking in solidarity at #TUC25 today. Here's what we're calling for. The motion passed unanimously. #StopKillingJournalists

#Nepal 🇳🇵: The shutdown of social media platforms under vague registration requirements is a severe threat to press freedom and the right to information, and the Oli administration must ensure access remains permanently reinstated @ifjasiapacific www.ifj.org/media-centre...

We also made our position clear - AI is no substitute for journalism. Fran McNulty, NUJ joint president, said: “AI cannot fill the gap” left by journalists set to lose their jobs at Reach plc under plans announced this week. “Journalism is and always will be a human endeavour.”

The issue of AI and its impact on jobs and rights dominated TUC Congress. #TUC25 Our composite motion calling for new laws to protect journalists, photographers, and other copyright holders against big tech won unanimous support. Read our round-up: www.nuj.org.uk/resource/tuc...
