The pandemic has shown the need for thinking about emergency funding for news media in the short-term, the report reads, with sustainable funding models as it adapts to the new digital realities of the 21st century in the long-term. “This research will thus feed into a series of projects to assist journalists and media entities to survive,” the executive summary of the report reads.
“The first and most visible casualty was the magazine industry with the closure of two magazine publishers with the loss of 97 jobs at the one publisher and up to 250 at the other. Away from the limelight, small, independent, hyperlocal print publications were also ravaged,” it reads.
