We deplore the way in which James Cook was treated, and we commend the professional and courteous way in which he conducted himself despite extreme provocation. No journalist - and no worker - should be subjected to this at their place of work.

This is utterly sickening. @BBCJamesCook is the most fair, thorough & kindest journalists in the business. His calm reaction in the face of this vitriol tells you everything you need to know about him. Appalling.

This is important. No journalist should face abuse or harassment online for doing their job, particularly when that journalist is properly trying to achieve balance and represent all viewpoints, and the abuse female journalists receive is different in both tone and volume.

Everyone here should be media-savvy enough to know that reporting what someone says is basic journalism. If you don't want those words reported, then use different words. If you want to criticise a publication or broadcaster - name them, and don't just blame 'media outlets'.

The @Daily_Record bills itself as Scotland's Champion, whilst trying to replace Scottish news produced by experienced Scottish journalists with news from England, and hoping no-one notices. We think their readers will. Reach shares are down 5% today, and 10% in the last week. 5/6

There will always be a paper put out, and we knew that. But when you look at tomorrow's Record you might notice a lot of English stories. That's because BAJ (the recognised union for the Mirror) - isn't on strike. (It tends to agree with everything management tells them) 2/6

For those members who voted against - we hear you, and we will be taking that energy and anger back to the company this autumn when we hold the company to uphold the promises it has made, and to make a 2023 pay offer that properly values their staff. 7/7

🧵Today's news of huge editorial cuts at Reach are devastating news for the talented and dedicated @NUJofficial journalists who work there, as well as those communities who rely every day on quality national and local reporting from their online and print titles. 1/7

Reach redundancies: 450 jobs to go, more than one in ten of staff. We have CEO Jim Mullen's full message to staff and the background - which is an online advertising market where tech platforms are eating publishers
