The BBC is always under attack. But this time it has been sabotaged by conservative ideologues deep within its heart. Is it time for the culture secretary to step in?

This is a clear example illustrating the value of #LocalNews to anyone who pays taxes and/or uses public services (aka everyone!)

"While we heard throughout the research that people value the role of local news, the word 'journalism' can evoke partisanship or elitism for some audiences, while 'media' sounds like entertainment to many people." www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/dont...
Don’t dwell on “democracy,” and other new findings about how to market local news
"Here’s the paradox: 93% of people believe reliable local news is necessary for democracy, yet many of these same people react negatively to explicit 'democracy' messaging."

The U.S. military’s openness to the press was never a favor to journalists, but an obligation to a country that asks its sons and daughters to volunteer for service. The Defense Department's new policy puts that in jeopardy, Nancy A. Youssef writes.

Pete Hegseth’s department is imposing restrictions that threaten to limit scrutiny from the press.

One of the reasons I love going on @parismarx.com’s show isn’t just because we get deep into the issues but because I can also talk about Canadian media policy, which is super interesting!!
Google has long been a key source of traffic for news and all manner of sites across the web.
