Historian Neale writes that, "today, as it begins its second century, the NUJ is in relatively good health, after surviving several crises - political and financial - in the 1980s and 1990s... NUJ membership has topped 40,000, budgets are in the black, an increasing number of women members reflect changes in journalism as well as wider society, and the NUJ has, if anything, bucked the trend of failing union membership in British industry." He continues: "Questions of job security, pay and conditions remain pre-occupations for the NUJ, as they do for its members, but questions of conscience, professional standards and the wider, social role of the journalist reverberate in its discussions as widely as they seem to have done in any of the past ten decades. One suspects that they will continue to do so in the next century, too." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
