NUJ Leeds and West Yorkshire

Do you work in the media, PR or publishing? The National Union of Journalists is here for you.

Our Leeds and West Yorkshire branch represents hundreds of student, freelance and staff journalists, including at the BBC, ITV, National World, Newsquest, PA Media and Reach.

We hold regular branch meetings and socials here in West Yorkshire, with a mixture of in-person and online activities.

What is the future of local news? This was the theme of a panel discussion at our branch AGM.
