Neither option is very appealling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   214 #14 Posted August 30, 2018 Key words "policy levers", "intervention", "subsidising", "funding support" you really think they haven't got eyes on money from the treasury, you think Lord Rothermere wouldn't be interested in a revenue stream provided by the Government ? The panel is already stuffed with media representatives.  Considering most newspaper funding is now coming from loads of adverts on their online pages, or subscriptions, that would be my first response - not the government.  Like others on here, I think you're joining too many dots and forming your own picture.
