For all the prophecies of doom about the future of news, that represents an extraordinary strength. The British news industry reaches over eighty percent of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, this vitality should not blind us to the challenges. And, while thankfully there is no direct threat to press freedoms in our country, we must remain vigilant that the growing power of digital technology does not begin to chip away at them. Particularly as artificial intelligence begins to transform our economy and way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth artificial intelligence and the creative industries \u2013 which includes news and media \u2013 are central to this government\u2019s driving mission on economic growth. To strike balance in our industrial policy, we are working closely with both sectors. We recognise the basic principle that publishers should have control over and seek payment for their work, including when thinking about the role of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot only is it essential for a vibrant media landscape, in which the sector\u2019s provision of trustworthy information is more vital than ever. It is also relevant to our ongoing work to roll out the Digital Markets and Consumers Act as swiftly as possible. This landmark legislation will help rebalance the relationship between platforms and those, such as publishers, who rely on them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run by the NMA on behalf of the industry, Journalism Matters is a weeklong celebration of the importance of journalism to our democratic way of life which hundreds of news media titles take part in every year. The campaign runs until Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/newsmediauk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Journalism-Matters-NMA-CEO-Op-Ed.pdf\">article<\/a> to mark the launch of the campaign, NMA chief executive Owen Meredith said: \u201cThis week, we are celebrating Journalism Matters week, dedicated to honouring the extraordinary work that UK journalists carry out, day in, day out \u2013 from shining a light on corruption, holding power to account and reporting from the halls of Westminster to warzones in Israel, Gaza and Ukraine, all in the public interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor this vital component of our democracy to continue, the\u00a0government must ensure a sustainable environment for our free press through measures such as standing up for press freedom as journalism faces an increasing array of threats, supporting our brilliant local news media which reaches huge audiences in print and digital, and maintaining our robust gold standard copyright regime to ensure content creators control use of their works as AI technology continues to develop.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalism is the \u201clifeblood of democracy\u201d and publishers should have control over and seek payment for their work as AI technology continues to transform our economy and way of life, Sir Keir Starmer has said today.
