More than ever, we need trusted sources of information such as news brands to counteract the onslaught of false information and enable us to make sense of the complex world we live in today. That’s why data out later this week which is expected to show huge audiences for local news media is so important. This week, the industry comes together for the annual Journalism Matters campaign to celebrate the vital importance of trusted news and information to our society. In an increasingly uncertain and unstable world, the need for trusted sources of information has never been greater. As we celebrate Journalism Matters week, I hope that you will join me in celebrating the immense value that journalism continues to deliver for our democratic society.
