NS Submission to Local Media Action Plan

The NS submission on the Government’s Local Media Action Plan has asked the Government to maintain transparency and consultation on its local TV plans as they develop.

The industry feels that the Government’s somewhat fluid plans, determined by the expressions of interest received, must ensure conditions of fair competition between the existing regional and local media and new local TV operators.

The NS will be hosting a lunch for the Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt in the summer to discuss the Local Media Action Plan and forthcoming Communications Green Paper.

The NS is the voice of Britain’s local media, the UK’s most popular print medium. It represents 1,100 newspapers, 1,600 websites and other print, digital and broadcast channels.
