Prepared by O&O for the NMA, the report’s key recommendations are that a clear framework of targets and controls to govern the BBC’s news services and put cooperation at the heart of its guiding principles must be implemented to ensure a durable, vibrant and plural UK news market. It will form part of the NMA’s submission to the green paper on BBC Charter Review, House of Lords select committee inquiry and other relevant consultations.
