[cma-l] BBC local democracy content for the sector?

Fri Feb 3 16:05:09 GMT 2017

The BBC not supporting broadcasting then?

As I recall from previous discussion, part of this was aimed at community radio. Maybe I misunderstood that.

The 'online' part of that here, will feed in to a very commercial 'news' site and three 'commercial' newspaper while it seems, ignoring broadcasting.

Audio (and video) content for 'commercial' newspapers sites at no cost? Which we can't use? You couldn't make this stuff up.

It would be interesting to discover, whether the BBC would consider a community radio station website as an 'online' destination for content and whether we can then use it on air.

  I went to a presentation delivered by Matthew Barraclough from the BBC about this in July 2016 (at Centre For Community Journalism, Cardiff). In my notes I wrote:

  -----

  .Matthew Barraclough from the BBC was answering questions about 2 new BBC initiatives that would specifically appeal to Centre for Community Journalism) C4CJ audience - '150 reporters scheme' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2016/bbc-nma-partnership) & 'newsbank' (mentioned in link also). 

  150 reporters (basically, across UK 150 reporters are funded by the BBC to cover local council meetings etc, but share their news with other local news orgs) scheme. they want to employ new people 'with relevant experience'.

  News-bank -  Features local video and audio content produced by BBC, soon after initial broadcast. 

  Both of these schemes are for online and print only, not broadcast. Both are the BBC showing commitment to supporting local journalism. 

  Not sure if that at all useful!

  This has been bubbling under for  a year or so without any noticeable action. It might be something CMA could raise in context of MoU?

  If reporters were only assigned to local papers this would still provide some scope to get them involved in radio too. We have weekly slot for our local newspaper reporters to discuss that week's stories for example.

    Hi all

    BBC to fund 200 local democracy reporters to be based at local papers, reports to come to BBC, and then to 'others'.  Does anyone know if our sector will have access to this material?  Any chance of any of the posts coming to our stations and other parts of the sector?

    Please note that I work at Radio Regen under 2 days a week so responses might not be as quick as we'd like.  Many thanks.
