Digital Excellence in Local Media

UK local media is deepening its penetration of local markets and growing audiences across a burgeoning portfolio of websites, niche magazines and broadcast platforms. Already this year, many regional press publishers have announced successful new and updated digital services.

Websites, podcasts, mobile phones and e-editions allow people to access news and entertainment on the move, whilst blogging enables readers to get directly involved with their newspaper. Video streaming and online television services are used by an increasing number of publishers, to provide news, sport and local information. These platforms are proving increasingly popular with regional press consumers.
