Thoughts with family and friends of Lyra McKee on the anniversary of her killing. One of the darkest days in Irish journalism. NUJ Belfast & District Branch NUJ

The NUJ is among those remembering 29-year-old Lyra McKee today on the fifth anniversary of her death. Seamus Dooley, NUJ Irish secretary, said: “The thoughts of all NUJ members are with the partner, family and many friends and colleagues of Lyra McKee.” nuj.org.uk/resource/fifth…

3/ It's yet another reason why NUJ continues to reflect on the devastating decision by the BBC to scrap its award winning Current Affairs programme Inside Out in 2020. It was a grave mistake, which cost jobs and, importantly, valued local journalism.

2/ After the ITV drama, many asked 'why is the media only taking an in interest now?'. But this proves that wasn't the case - talented local journalists had been on the case for years.

1/ Today's evidence from the Post Office enquiry demonstrates the value important, tenaceous, hold to account local journalism
