The importance of a strong and diverse local media landscape was highlighted during a recent visit by Joe Robertson MP to a All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster.
The Isle of Wight benefits from a competitive mix of online and print outlets, in contrast to many parts of the UK where local journalism has come under pressure from large digital platforms.
Joe Robertson MP said, “Good to catch up with Darren Toogood, Editor at Island Echo, in Parliament. On the Island we are fortunate to have a competitive and diverse local media environment both online and in newsprint. I am pleased to be supporting local media in my junior role in Westminster within the shadow culture, media and sport team.”
