Online Journalism Blog: Can the UK government save journalism?
August 21st, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Journalism
Paul Bradshaw suggests a number of steps (with examples) that the government could take ‘to create an environment that supports good journalism’:
- Release of public data
- Tax relief on donations to support investigative journalism
- Encouraging innovation and enterprise
- Reskilling of redundant journalists
- An effective local news consortia
Well worth a read – and more suggestions are welcome.
