To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to support local journalism.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Culture Secretary has announced our intention to develop a local media strategy, in recognition of the importance of this vital sector and with a view to helping ensure it can continue to tell the stories that matter in communities. We are working across Government as we develop this strategy and see how we can improve local communities’ access to news.
