Publishers Call for Stronger Local Media Support Amid Devolution Plans

Publishers Call for Stronger Local Media Support Amid Devolution Plans

Publishers are advocating for increased support for local media as Andy Burnham's devolution plans propose a significant transfer of power to local governments. This shift from Westminster is seen as a potential risk to media scrutiny, as regional titles face challenges from big tech and 'news deserts'. The News Media Association and other stakeholders emphasize the need for local journalism to hold mayors and councils accountable. Concerns have been raised about the lack of media policy in the government's devolution announcements, which could undermine the effectiveness of these plans. The National Union of Journalists warns that without a robust local news sector, the devolution agenda could falter.

Unions Boycott Labour Women's Conference Over Transgender Policy

Unions Boycott Labour Women's Conference Over Transgender Policy

Unions have announced a boycott of the Labour women's conference in Liverpool due to the party's decision to ban trans women from the main hall. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that defines a woman by biological sex under equalities law. The Labour Party's National Executive Committee (NEC) has interpreted this ruling to mean that references to 'woman' or 'women' must be based on biological sex. The party argues that this approach is the least restrictive way to comply with new laws while maintaining accessibility. The decision has sparked controversy and backlash from unions and advocacy groups who view it as exclusionary and discriminatory against transgender individuals.

Government Announces £12m Fund to Support Local Media Amid Devolution Plans

Government Announces £12m Fund to Support Local Media Amid Devolution Plans

The government has announced a £12m fund over two years to support local news outlets as part of efforts to address 'news deserts' and enhance financial sustainability. This initiative is linked to broader devolution plans spearheaded by Andy Burnham, which aim to transfer significant power to local governments. The fund will allow local media outlets in print, online, radio, or TV to bid for grants to aid their transition to digital business models. However, there are calls for additional support to counter misinformation and ensure the success of devolution, which relies heavily on local media scrutiny. Concerns have been raised about the potential weakening of scrutiny as regional titles face hostility, big tech challenges, and reduced access to policymakers.
