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.

[Ian Carter @iancarterIM]

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?

So good to spend time today celebrating the graduation of #Newsquest's latest stars from our 15 month DIPLOMAiQ digital marketing programme run for us by Ascento. All with distinctions. Bravo! #Growinglocalmedia

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.

.@Ofcom must “awake from its slumber” and intervene to prevent the #BBC crowding out commercial providers with plans to ramp up its own digital local news services, Newsquest chief executive @FaureWalker said @katierazz https://t.co/U1mu7iMOi2

OFCOM asleep on the watch as BBC expansion undermines local news brands. Is this really what the licence fee is for??? Local news brands now read by over 75% of local people. Work with us not against. @DCMS @Ofcom @newsmediaorg https://t.co/qlLfqD1oWL
