We admitted the first person who described themselves professionally as a blogger in 2007. We have a strong record of defending our members – particularly our freelance writers and photographers who lack the protection of an employer – from illegitimate attack by the authorities. Details of the different membership types in the union are available on the NUJ website – http://www.nuj.org.uk/innerPagenuj.html?docid=2558
