Select Committee on Communications and Digital: The future of journalism

Publisher: Select Committee on Communications and Digital (UK Parliament)

Abstract:

Overview

1.1 The competitive dynamics of many industries have changed considerably over the past decade and perhaps none more so than in journalism. There is no doubt that the journalism profession continues to undergo structural changes that compel businesses to adapt and transform themselves to the demands and disruption caused by innovative new media technologies.

1.2 The DCMS Standard Industrial Classification for Publishing (SIC07) incorporates a number of sub-sectors (58.11 Book publishing, 58.13 Publishing of newspapers, 58.14 Publishing of journals and periodicals, 58.19 Other publishing activities) that when combined provide a good indication of the core of journalistic activity and output. As such, the UK Publishing Industry will be used as a proxy for journalism in this call for evidence.
