Local Press
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what her planned timetable is for publishing the local media strategy.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
Sustainability of journalism across the country is an area of particular concern for this Government, and the development of a Local Media Strategy is in recognition of the importance of this vital sector. We recently held a roundtable discussion with local news editors to discuss our planned approach and collaboration with industry on the Strategy. An industry working group has now been set up to consider the issues in more detail and we will announce more in the coming months.
