Local Media Merger Review delayed

The OFT’s report on the Local Media Merger Review, originally planned for completion in mid-April, is to be delayed until close to the publication date of the final Digital Britain report on 16 June, the Newspaper Society has been told.
The big regional newspaper publishers have been lobbying the Government to relax the rules surrounding local media mergers and acquisitions, claiming the regime needs to be modernised to reflect the change to the multi-media delivery of local news and information across print, online and broadcast platforms.
