Media plurality

Achieving a workable approach to plurality, particularly in provision of news and current affairs, is generally considered fundamental to a well-functioning democratic society, ensuring as far as possible informed citizens and a media without any single set of views or individuals wielding too much influence over the political process. The Committee would welcome written submissions on the main concerns associated with the current legal and regulatory framework for plurality, and particularly proposals, or endorsements and criticisms of existing proposals, on how this framework might be brought up to date. The Committee would also welcome any other views, and practical proposals, of which stakeholders think the Committee should be aware.
