The Scottish Affairs Committee today released its ‘Crisis in the Scottish Press’ report.
“A shift of local authority job adverts from newspapers to a dedicated website run by the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities has been recognised by MPs as a threat to the viability of Scottish newspapers,” reports All Media Scotland.
“(…) [C]oncerns also extend to a possible move away of local authority public notices to the internet, despite not everyone having access to the internet.”
