News should be provided by a combination of public interest broadcasting, commercial news platforms and community media. Te spread of provision would allow each form of media to provide a check against the others. Te provision itself would be transparent and porous, encouraging all concerned citizens to understand and participate in reporting where they are interested to do so.


Media institutions would have the authority and financial stability to be able to report fearlessly on the operation of vested interests and malfeasance.


Te importance of dependable news and the ability to recognise such reporting should be hard-wired into the national curriculum.


Innovation in news provision should be a mater of national encouragement and funding to create a beneficial mosaic of news services among which invention is intrinsic.


Trust in journalism will deepen and public engagement in our democratic structures will increase, with improved ethical standards of reporting rooted in the NUJ’s Code of Conduct.
