Democracy without journalists: the crisis in local news

You are particularly welcome to this major event on 17 March, 2.00pm - 4.00pm in the Thatcher Room, Portcullis House, Bridge Street, London SW1P 3JA, to highlight the importance of robust news coverage for local democracy and propose concrete steps to halt the decline in local news. Attendance is free, but places are limited. Please email Joanna Redden to reserve a place.

There’s a wide range of expert speakers for the event, which is hosted by the NUJ, the Study of Global Media and Democracy, and Goldsmiths University. Let's make this an election issue,Arrive 30 minutes early to clear security in good time for the meeting.
