Journalists’ Service: Without fear or favour

A service to commemorate those journalists, photographers, camera-crew, sound-crew and support staff who have died on the frontline, will be held at St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street on Tuesday 7th November 2023 at 6:30pm.

An address and readings will be given by figures from across the media industry. The service will be led by Canon Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride’s with music performed by the renowned St Bride’s Choir.

The annual service, which is this year entitled Without fear or favour, draws to mind the dangers faced by news teams and the need for independent and professional journalism free from outside influence.

The service is free and open to all; please register to attend.

Our ministry to journalism is one of the most important and distinctive aspects of our life at St Bride’s. We hold this service of remembrance each Autumn. There is an archive of audio and transcripts from past services here.

A candle burns on our Journalists’ Altar to remember in prayer those working within the media who have died, been injured, held hostage, or whose fate is unknown.
