The BBC is close to agreeing a deal with local news providers that will see it share resources with newspapers and TV and radio stations for the first time, MediaGuardian reports today.
It says the BBC will unveil the proposals, which include giving local papers free access to video content for their websites, allowing them access to its school of journalism and making its iPlayer technology available to rivals, at an industry summit hosted by culture secretary Andy Burnham on Tuesday.
The summit will be attended by Helen Boaden, the BBC's head of news, and David Holdsworth, controller of the English regions, as well as other industry executives and the National Union of Journalists.
