State­ments of support

Our lat­est state­ment of sup­port is from the Media Stan­dards Trust.

The Media Stan­dards Trust shares with the Coali­tion a con­cern about the seri­ous threats to pub­lic inter­est jour­nal­ism, par­tic­u­larly with respect to local jour­nal­ism, and the impli­ca­tions this has for demo­c­ra­tic account­abil­ity. We sup­port the Coali­tion in cam­paign­ing for wider pub­lic recog­ni­tion of the demo­c­ra­tic deficit that is a con­se­quence of a lack of pub­lic inter­est jour­nal­ism.
