Resources

We’ve put together a collection of resources for media activists and others to use to raise awareness about the need for media reform:

The Media Activist Toolkit; an animation, flyer/ poster, some stickers and our latest ownership report
Our collection of Media Ownership Reports
Our Parliamentary Submissions
Other Media Reform Coalition documents
Some recommended books
a collection of related video
and a library full of resources we’ve found around the web

Britain has one of the most concentrated media environments in the world. Just three companies dominate 83% of national newspaper circulation; five companies account for 80% of national newspaper newsbrand reach; five companies command 80% of local newspaper titles; and two companies own nearly half of all commercial analogue radio stations..

The phone hacking scandal and its aftermath demonstrated how that power has been used nationally, whilst at the local level community after community is losing the means to publicly hold power to account.

Urgent reform is needed to reclaim the media in the interest of the public.
