Jason Arday and the press that learned nothing from Leveson The relentless reporting on Jason Arday brought it home – parts of the mainstream media care more about clicks than fair, proportionate coverage | Gemma Gould @gemmagould.bsky.social

"Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick also made a blunder in the same press conference by asking the audience to stand up if they work – and only a handful did." 😄😄😄

The treatment of Jason Arday horrified many people. Where does legitimate journalistic scrutiny end and a media pile-on begin? Tonight at 7pm, we're bringing together journalists, academics and regulators to ask what responsible media should look like. 🎟️ bit.ly/bettermedia

Delighted to announce that we have now added Jaldeep Katwala to the panel for tonight's webinar. A true champion of diversity, equality and inclusion in journalism, running the Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity and Network Manager at Public Interest News Foundation 🎟️ bit.ly/bettermedia

A free press is essential to democracy. So is a responsible one. How do we protect fearless investigative journalism while demanding fairness, accuracy and accountability? That's one of the questions we'll be tackling next Wednesday. Sign up here 👇 🎟️ bit.ly/bettermedia

💥 From Leveson to Arday, the mainstream media is a horror show of exploitation over education. With alternative media booming, we have an opportunity to guarantee we do better media right. How do we ensure that? Come and join the conversation! —-> www.tickettailor.com/events/bylin...

Fourteen years after Leveson, who holds the press to account? And are the systems intended to prevent abuses actually working? That's one of the questions we'll be tackling next Wednesday.

Let Manchester City have the two full barrels A passionate Manchester United fan argues the case for why Manchester City need to be given the maximum penalty possible, but why is that? | Mark Cunliffe

I'm so angry about what City were up to and for it to take so long to bring action with them allowed to continue to win the Premier League, cups and a Champions League. My latest article for @centralbylines.co.uk Let Manchester City have the two full barrels

He certainly did. Rowan Finch covered his tale too 👇🏻 The strange case of John 'Babbacombe' Lee, the man they couldn’t hang. Accused of murder, defies belief with his miraculous escape from the gallows centralbylines.co.uk/lifestyle/hi...

Meanwhile at the Labour Party Conference:

Birmingham Safer Futures launches to help domestic abuse victims New specialist domestic abuse service to support families across Birmingham

Two events. One evening. Channel 4 investigated Reform’s political funding while Bylines debated how to clean up politics. And the two stories met in Clacton. eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/as-...

“Make money visible.” Gina Miller’s prescription for cleaning up politics came just as Channel 4 News was broadcasting an undercover investigation into Reform's political funding. Two events. One evening. And the two stories met in Clacton.

Two simultaneous events revealed an extraordinary overlap between allegations about political funding and proposals for cleaning it up | East Anglia Bylines

🔥 Hundreds of girls abused by Al-Fayed and his trafficking network are still awaiting justice. AND the Met Police are refusing to investigate it as a trafficking operation. That’s key. Here is where you can help out (and get a copy if you want) —> www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/where-is-j...

The Midlands could benefit from a massive £1,386mn increase in GDP if the UK joins the EU. In perspective it could build: 2 new Midlands community hospitals 4 new primary schools 4 new secondary schools 2,000 care home places 200 new GP surgeries …every year and still have millions in change.

The Midlands: Big winners from closer EU alignment or big losers if the UK weakens ties with the EU | Cliff Mitchell

Please support this. Justice matters. Citizen voices matter. Powerful men must not be allowed to exploit, abuse and traffic women and girls. They should not walk away without consequence. It's not enough to know those men are no longer with us - the system that let this happen has to change.
