Motion 96
The Importance of Hyperlocal and Local Media
“That this Congress congratulates all those involved in setting up the Scottish Beacon, a new network designed to provide mutual support and information for Scotland’s grassroots, hyperlocal and community news providers, and to enable them to access as much professional training and expertise as possible.
“Congress affirms the vital importance of strong local media in sustaining our democracy, holding power to account and strengthening community resilience in difficult times; and urges all STUC members to be aware of Scottish Beacon as a source of valuable information about community media in local areas across Scotland, which can offer an important forum for publicising, debating and sustaining trade union activity, as it affects local communities.”
