The NUJ and broadcasting union BECTU are to lobby UK MPs over the future of regional news and public service broadcasting on Wednesday 14 October at 3pm in Westminster.
The unions are campaigning against top-slicing the BBC licence fee and propose alternative means of funding independent news and current affairs on other channels.
I am a freelance journalist based in the UK and was deputy editor of Press Gazette, the journalists' magazine, from 1993 until 2006. I want to give an independent view on media matters.
