In electing a serious and fearless progressive, the College of Cardinals looks like pretty much the only electorate in the world that hasn't had its brains boiled by far right propaganda & toxic social media. For a Catholic of my generation, this is an almost unbelievable development.

The @nujofficial.bsky.social Code of Conduct is built on the tenets of truth, fairness, independence, privacy and accountability. These are the 5 pillars that should uphold #journalism in all of its many forms. But how do major social media platforms measure up against these standards? 🤔

Thousands gathered in central #London today to protest against a Supreme Court ruling about the legal definition of the word "woman." The court ruled that under the Equality Act, “woman” and “sex” mean someone who is biologically female - even if a #trans woman has a gender recognition certificate.

The furore around the Met Counter Terrorism staff Easter egg hunt is interesting. Now, as I’ve said to people I’ve discussed it with, I can see why news outlets are running the story...

Walking across Pall Mall I'm approached by a Sudanese protester close to the UK, EU and African Union 'Pathway to Peace summit. "You're press!" He then strikes up a conversation about the situation in Sudan. I wasn't even filming. I might just have a press-like glow, even on an off day.

This morning, I had a trawl through the @nujofficial.bsky.social Delegate Meeting agenda and compared it with the 2023 agenda, particularly in relation to digital skills, student members, and journalism training and education. There’s definitely a shift in union thinking taking place. It's overdue.
