Government Understands Need To Make âQuick and Tangible Progressâ On Regulation Of Tech Giants
The Government understands the need to make “quick and tangible progress” on implementing the new regulatory regime for the tech giants given local publishers are under increasing financial pressure.
In its report ‘Breaking news? The Future of UK Journalism’, the House of Lords Communications and Digital Committee called for the Digital Markets Unit to be set up as a matter of urgency,” overseeing a news media bargaining code similar to the Australian model.
The report was published on the same day the Government responded to the Competition and Markets Authority’s market study into online platforms and digital advertising, announcing that the DMU would be set up in April this year.

Parachute journalism goes away for good
“The reasons are as practical as they are ideological. Travel is dangerous and many places are simply inaccessible to outside journalists. Sources are understandably warier than ever about meeting strangers to talk about a story.”
In the absence of local staff, many news organizations have for decades relied on a foreign correspondence model known as parachute journalism.
The term evokes a vivid image: An out-of-towner arrives by air, perhaps without much preparation or knowledge. Upon landing, he or she does their best to manage local language, currency, transportation, and communication, all while likely nursing jetlag. The parachute journalist might rely on a “fixer” a local journalist with knowledge and connections who may not receive any credit on the final product. Or the visiting reporter might go it alone, inevitably missing critical context and possibly key facts.
