City University journalism professor and media commentator Roy Greenslade hasn’t cancelled his monthly membership payment to the National Union of Journalists following his public resignation last year.

Greenslade last year announced his intention to leave the union in a blog post commenting on the row over the union’s perceived stace on new media issues.

But speaking to Dave Lee of Press Gazette’s new student journalism blog, Greenslade said: “I am so conflicted that although I resigned in public and then by private letter — which has been formally acknowledged — I have yet to cancel my direct debit. I know I should do it, but somehow I just can’t.”
