Government of #SierraLeone announces, at #WPFD2022, a national plan for public interest media, including a fund. Much kudos. (Very disparaging analogy being drawn on the panel with the UK government's response to the #CairncrossReview, @DCMS).
Charitable status for journalism - as with the #CairncrossReview - received strong support in submissions, incl @PBJRC & @PINewsF, so the report gives a strong steer to the @ChtyCommission to keep moving towards recognition of a new...
This was part of the #FutureNewsFund, one of the recommendations of the #CairncrossReview, and it’s particularly interesting as it combines multiple datasets that I haven’t seen used in this way before.

Original impetus for #CairncrossReview was to respond to "falling circulations and publisher revenues, ongoing closures of local newspapers and losses of journalist jobs" (para 1)

See, e.g. @wblau’s observation of the #CairncrossReview that “if you’d never touched a newspaper, and tried to understand what it was based on what you hear at journalism conferences and in these reviews...”
