For many smaller, independent newsrooms, charitable status would open the door to new sources of funding for protecting and supporting public interest journalism.

📢#Bristol is inches away from £10k for #BartonHouse residents!
£500 has been donated directly - we've passed it straight to vols for 1st lot of supplies, so total is page 500.
We need long-term solutions. But your generosity is providing immediate relief.

🤔Where did public money spent on #journalism during covid go?
🤷♀️How did govt make these decisions, worth up to £200m?
🔎Who benefitted—and who didn't get a fair slice?

New research from @PINewsF shows over 4m are now living in a UK news desert.
#Bristol is lucky to be among the 'news oases', with a high number of outlets.
The Cable supports new newsrooms with training, and is working with industry partners to help abolish news deserts.

Looking forward to speaking at today's @UWEJournalism event on the sustainability of #LocalNews - specifically, public interest news (as opposed to commercial/tabloid).
The movement to 'save local news' has gained momentum recently - here's how 🧵👇[1/11]

😱This is why we are pioneering a new, people-powered media model.
Reach:
• pays its CEO £4m a year
• just announced expansion into the US
• "can't afford" to pay its already skeleton UK staff
Corporate #LocalNews continues to shell out... 🧵👇[1/3]

This thread shows how/why the UK has seen a decimation of #LocalNews, and how hard it is to convince the general public to pay for the quality #LocalNews that has survived.
Our Local News Deserts research (cjproject.org/research-proje…) very much backs up these findings.
