This is critical to ensuring the public are kept informed about matters of importance in their local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe also welcome the government\u2019s acknowledgement of the need for a collective bargaining mechanism to ensure that smaller local publishers will be able to negotiate with the might of the tech platforms within the new competition framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are also pleased that government is engaging with local media to develop best ways of working for future government advertising campaigns. Local news media is a powerful partner for businesses and government to reach highly engaged audiences and should be a critical conduit for central government communications, providing unrivalled scale and connection with local communities, and government must make full use of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/committees.parliament.uk\/writtenevidence\/107592\/pdf\/\">The News Media Association\u2019s response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee\u2019s Inquiry: \u201cSustainability of Local Journalism\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government has described the Public Notice Portal as a &#8220;welcome innovation&#8221; from the local news media sector, while committing to keeping the statutory requirement for public notices to be published in printed local newspapers.
