The programme is designed to explore fundamental changes taking place in the news industries in modern democracies, elucidate the underlying causes and process of these changes and identify emerging opportunities for the news industries.

It also aims to produce policy recommendations regarding the economic viability of newspaper publishing and the erosion of news in public service broadcasting.

The programme will run from January to March 2010 and will include contribution from two international fellows, Prof. Michael Schudson, Columbia University School of Journalism (USA) and Dr Sally Young, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne (Australia).

Programme team: Dr Martin Montgomery (School of Journalism and Communication, University of Strathclyde) ; Dr Raymond Boyle (Centre for Cultural Policy Research, University of Glasgow); Dr Graham Meikle (Media Research Institute, University of Stirling); Prof. Brian McNair (Director, School of Journalism and Communication, University of Strathclyde).
