[Commlist] new UK journalism report published

Some of you may be interested in a report just published under the 
auspices of the Charitable Journalism Project (CJP) on “news deserts”. 
It is the result of several months empirical investigation in 7 UK 
locations, primarily written by Dr Steven Barclay (formerly a doctoral 
student at Westminster, now at City) and was a collaborative effort 
between Westminster, Kings and Sussex, funded by the Joseph Rowntree 
Reform Trust.

It was launched yesterday in the House of Commons and is designed to 
informed policy debates around the decline of local journalism, the 
dangers to democracy, and the need for a more flexible charitable regime 
to generate more philanthropic contributions for public interest journalism.

There is an electronic link to a downloadable PDF on the CJP website
