The National Union of Journalists is a representative body for journalists and journalism in the United Kingdom, focusing on campaigning to improve pay and working conditions and on defending media freedom, professionalism, and ethical standards. Its membership comprises staffers and freelancers across broadcasting, newspapers, magazines, books, public relations, and various forms of new media. Founded in 1907, it ranks among the largest journalist unions globally and is based in London. The organization operates within the book and periodical publishing sector as part of the broader media landscape. In November 2024, the NUJ launched the Journalists Safety Tracker, a tool that enables journalists to log incidents of abuse, including those who are not NUJ members, to support its safety campaigns. The tracker illustrates the union's ongoing emphasis on safeguarding journalists and promoting safety within the profession.
