On Tuesday 31 January the London Photographers’ Branch (LPB) passed the following motion.

“Following hostile criticism of press photographers at the Leveson inquiry, this branch calls on the General Secretary to draw the attention of the Inquiry to the NUJ code of conduct, and recommends that a common Code of Conduct drawing from the NUJ and other codes is adopted by all holders of a UKPCA national press card.”

As the NUJ has core participant status, General Secretary Michelle Stanistreet has written to all members inviting them to confidentially put forward their views and experiences to be submitted to Leveson.
