answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting local and regional newspapers and other news outlets as vital pillars of communities and local democracy. They play an essential role in holding power to account, keeping the public informed of local issues and providing reliable, high-quality information.</p><p>Amid an evolving media landscape and changes in consumer behaviour, we are working to support journalism and local newsrooms to ensure the sustainability of this important industry. We are introducing a new, pro-competition regime for digital markets. The regime, which aims to address the far-reaching power of the biggest tech firms, will help rebalance the relationship between publishers and the online platforms on which they increasingly rely. This will make an important contribution to the sustainability of the press.</p><p>Additionally, our support for the sector has included the delivery of a £2 million Future News Fund, the extension of a 2017 business rates relief on local newspaper office space until 2025; the publication of the Online Media Literacy Strategy; and our work through the Mid-Term Review of the BBC Charter to encourage greater collaboration and transparency from the BBC in the local news market and other markets in which it operates. The BBC also supports the sector directly, through the £8m it spends each year on the Local News Partnership, including the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme.</p><p>We are also reducing regulatory burdens on commercial radio providers, and strengthening requirements on the provision of local news through the Media Bill to ensure commercial radio continues to provide high quality local journalism.</p><p>We continue to consider all possible options in the interests of promoting and sustaining news journalism.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 13/05/2024 13:46:54 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2023 answer text <p>Freeview currently reaches nearly 99% of UK households. However, good terrestrial television signals may not be available to all households in rural areas due to a number of factors including local topography and spectrum availability. In these cases, Everyone TV – the organisation responsible for the day-to-day running of Freeview – advises that viewers consider other options to access free-to-air television such as the satellite service Freesat, which provides near total coverage in the UK.</p><p>Details of local radio coverage provided have been published by Ofcom in May 2022 and are available <a href="https://static.ofcom.org.uk/static/radiolicensing/mcamaps/dl104383.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>More detailed data on the usage of free-to-air radio and TV is available from a variety of sources. For example, Ofcom produces its Media Nations report which reviews key trends in the media sector and sets out how audiences are served across the UK. The most recent report was published in August 2023 and can be found <a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data/tv-radio-and-on-demand/media-nations-reports/media-nations-2023" target="_blank">here</a>. Ofcom also publishes the results of a number of <a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data/data/statistics" target="_blank">annual surveys</a> addressing these issues, as well as an interactive data set in the form of its annual <a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/research-and-data/multi-sector-research/cmr/2023/interactive" target="_blank">Communications Market Report</a>. Many of these publications include relevant analysis broken down by geographic area.</p> answering member constituency Maldon answering member printed Sir John Whittingdale question first answered 15/11/2023 09:17:42 answering member 39 label Biography information for Sir John Whittingdale
