Many of you will have noticed we already carry a fair bit of media industry coverage on Libcon. We’re hoping to expand this coverage.

Rather than report on the media industry itself, instead this blog will focus on a few areas:
(1) Tracking right-wing bias in the news. We expect this from most of the press, but what about the broadcasters who are meant to be impartial?

(2) Documenting absurd reporting from the press. The most pernicious stories, the concocted hatchet-jobs, the corrections, the forced apologies and the bullshit. There’s so much to go around.

(3) Campaigning for better regulation. The PCC needs reform. Ofcom and the BBC Trust are only slightly better. Is there any way to improve the situation?

This will primarily be a reported blog with a smattering of opinion. Contributors welcome!
