Tell your colleagues, friends and acquaintances who work in all the sectors covered by the UJF about the union, and suggest that they join the union. For each member you recruit, you’ll receive a gift voucher as a reward once the newcomer has paid their membership fee.

When journalists’ work is prevented, the picture conveyed of events in the region becomes thin and fragmented. Without journalistic fact-checking, there is a danger that all information gets labelled propaganda. This threatens both the public’s right to know and the prerequisites for international decision-making.

The UJF’s new membership register is now up and running. The My Journalist Union e-service makes it easier to update and check your own membership details and to keep in touch with the union.
