I don't really fancy a world where the only source of local news comes from the BBC, alongside the occasional plucky hyperlocal, but that's where we will finish up if its aggressive expansion is allowed to continue unchecked.
Henry Faure Walker retweeted
Diverting money to compete in a market well-served by commercial publishers will simply, in the long term, reduce choice.
How can the rest of us experiment with monetisation models when a cash-rich BBC can simply follow up our stories and provide them on a free-to-access site?

Newsquest CEO Henry Faure Walker called it "a cynical move":
“I’m not surprised by their behaviour but it’s disappointing that Meta is retreating back to their ivory tower leaving brilliant community journalists out in the cold.”

New on HTFP today: @Ofcom has delayed a decision on whether the BBC’s planned investment in local news services will “harm fair and effective competition” as it considers views from competitors, following criticism from @newsmediaorg and @FaureWalker.

This is so disappointing. BBC effectively using licence-payers' money to encroach on a service already being provided by local newspapers such as the Hereford Times.

Such an amazing true story about a Polish / British female spy in WWII. An exciting story for kids to listen to - particularly if they are bored and quarantining #PolishIndependenceDay #krystynaskarbek #homeschool #QuaratineLife

Local journalism plays a vital role in our democracy and helps develop the world class journalists of tomorrow, but it’s under threat.
Before we lose even more of our local papers, Government must listen to @newsmediaorg and @NUJofficial and provide much needed support.
