Following the general election in July the Media Reform Coalition has produced a new briefing document, which highlights our analysis of important media policy issues that are likely to be debated during the new parliament.
The briefing is intended to inform MPs, peers, campaigners, researchers and anyone interested in debates about the UK media, and covers:
- The BBC Royal Charter review
- The Media Act 2024
- Ofcom’s regulation of broadcasting
- Media ownership, plurality and diversity
- Press self-regulation and Leveson ‘Part Two’
- The decline of the UK’s local media sector
- Proposals for regulating Big Tech in the public interest
This analysis follows on from the recommendations in our Media Manifesto 2024, as well as our submissions to recent consultations and engagement with decision-makers.
We hope this document will encourage open debate and political action to fix the structural failings in our media, and support policymakers and activists to build a more democratic, independent and accountable media system.
