What A Story’ a book packed full of favourite tales from journalists and news photographers and written in aid of The Journalist Charity has now been published.

Many of these tales, which vary from the quirky to the sensational and the bizarre to the frankly unbelievable, made headlines and earned bylines in their day, while others were stored away to be recalled decades later.

Ofcom Chief Cristina Nicolotti Squires has been elected to the Council of the Journalists’ Charity.

Cristina, who is currently the regulator’s Group Director for Broadcast and Media, spent 35 years as a journalist and held senior broadcast roles before joining Ofcom in 2024.

The JC’s Chief Executive James Brindle joined members of the Royal family and other leaders from the charitable sector at Buckingham Palace on April 21 to celebrate what would have been the 100th birthday of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Tributes have been pouring in for the legendary photojournalist Paul Conroy who died following a heart attack on February 28. Acclaimed for his skills behind the lens, Paul was also a documentary maker and author known for his courageous war reporting, particularly in Syria and Ukraine. Paul was awarded the prestigious Journalists’ Charity Special Award in 2019 for his dedication to reporting, specifically for his efforts to expose the situation in Syria following the death of his colleague, Marie Colvin in 2012.
