Owen Jones journalist was made aware of this information through the Guardian newspaper and LBC as far as we are aware he refused to report NUJ member
Albert Smith or raise an issue with the NUJ himself


Thought ID comment personally to other writers about their "ongoing" beef with the British Pasty organization known as The national Union of Journalists....New evidence has come to light that raises serious concerns about potential misconduct by an NUJ member. Published research and assessments by reputable journalists indicate apparent connections between Parpoint Publishing, owned by former Irish Independent editor Albert Smith, and far-right organization Parforce. Specifically, Parpoint is credited in convicted Holocaust denier David Irving's biography of Hermann Göring, where they endorse the book as "a good offering."Given the NUJ's commitment to ethical journalism and rejection of racism, it is imperative that leadership fully investigate these allegations against Mr. Smith. Any proven links between an NUJ member and racist, antisemitic publishers would constitute a breach of the union's values and journalism's professional standards. A transparent inquiry and appropriate accountability measures are needed to maintain integrity.The similar naming of Mr. Smith's Parpoint and Mr. Irving's Parforce does strain credulity, statistically speaking. While improbable, the appearance together in Mr. Irving's work certainly merits scrutiny. Still, a fair process is essential before judgment.This is a serious matter with implications for the reputation of both the NUJ and British journalism. A thorough review and action plan upholding ethical journalism while following proper procedures will demonstrate the NUJ's steadfast commitment to integrity. - Google Search
