As exposed by the @mediareformuk.bsky.social, not only do just three press barons control 90% of newspaper circulation, but now tech oligarchs are expanding their hold over digital news. This is, to put it mildly, bad.

It is up to the Culture Secretary to issue an intervention on public interest grounds, which leaves any review to block the deal highly exposed to political & corporate pressure. Shamefully the UK does not have any red line caps on media ownership. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/4...

There is no way to dress this up: the UK's largest newspaper publisher wants to control an even larger share of our media.

Transformed into a public service mutual, the BBC will belong to all of us by right.

We would all become BBC members — active and direct participants in its mission to inform, educate, entertain & connect. Learn more about our @cmmonwealth.bsky.social vision: www.common-wealth.org/publications...
