It is time for the government to provide financial backing to Britain’s emerging hyperlocal online news start-ups, urges a new report by the Carnegie UK Trust.
It argues that community-run news websites have significant potential to help fill gaps in local media left by the closure of local newspapers and they should be encouraged to flourish.
I agree with this as by putting up local news on the internet, people will still be informed of their local events whilst not having to pay for it, this could help local communities feel more appreciated by elite nations.
