[cma-l] Ofcom invites comments on measurement framework for mediaplurality

[Canalside's The Thread]

By the way everyone, I forgot. Could someone please let me know as to
whether these consultations work ?   I'm not sure they do. Is it just a box
ticking exercise because it always appears to me that we spend a lot of time
giving and sharing our thoughts and a lot of us do sing from the same hymn
sheet, and yet no one seems to be listening ..... I think the word POINTLESS
springs to mind.

 

We live in hope though   :-)   onwards and upwards

 

Regards

 

Nick

Subject: [cma-l] Ofcom invites comments on measurement framework for
mediaplurality

 

Ofcom is inviting
<http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/plurality-cfi/>  comments on
how best to measure media plurality, after a request by the Secretary of
State for Ofcom to lead the development of a measurement framework.

This request follows the conclusions of a consultation by the Department for
Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), which determined the scope of the
measurement framework.

Media plurality contributes to a well-functioning democratic society by
ensuring a diversity of viewpoints and by preventing any one media owner
having too much influence over public opinion and the political agenda.

In September 2014, the Secretary of State asked Ofcom to develop a set of
indicators for this framework and to decide on the most appropriate metrics
for these.

Ofcom has been asked to develop this work in consultation with industry and
is therefore inviting stakeholders to provide input. We also plan to issue a
consultation in 2015 on the proposals for the indicators to include in the
measurement framework.

Developing this measurement framework will allow a future baseline
assessment on the state of media plurality in the UK.

 <http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/plurality-cfi/> The call
for inputs document is published on Ofcom's website. Responses must be
submitted by 27 November 2014.
