ICNN Membership Benefits
As well as networking opportunities and swapping tips, access to practical, technical, and business expertise, ICNN members benefit from being part of a group of news organisations that are recognised across the country for high-quality news.
ICNN has more than 100 committed and passionate individuals and teams of journalists embedded in their local areas holding power to account and contributing to media plurality.
ICNN members are committed to upholding high professional standards of accuracy, transparency, integrity, accountability, and fairness.
ICNN advocates and champions on behalf of these organisations in discussions with governments, third party organisations like the BBC and the NUJ, regulators, and charities, to increase the opportunities and reputation of the diverse sector.
Members of ICNN enjoy direct access to media law expert and co-author of McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists (20th ed), David Banks. David provides free consultations on individual media law issues from copyright, to qualified privilege; from defamation to complaints. David’s guidance has helped many of our members publish with confidence and accuracy, and without fear of repercussion.
We provide free access to a members-only private Facebook group to discuss all things community journalism, share tips, and ask other practitioners for advice.
