Yesterday I attended a meeting with members of the Climate Camp media team – at NUJ HQ – to discuss the assault of Jonathan Warren and myself which took place at the Climate Camp in August. The meeting also looked at the wider issue of press freedom and the environmental movement.

To use diplomatic language, there was a full and frank exchange of views. Two positive things did come out of the meeting. The first was that the media team will raise the NUJ demand for the Climate Camp to specifically condemn this attack on media workers at its next national gathering. I think this is important move forward whatever the outcome.

The second thing that was agreed was to look at ways of how the NUJ could engage with the Climate Camp over its media access policy.
