News Media Industry
During oral questions on the news media industry, a Conservative member asked the government to shift a larger share of its existing federal advertising spending to local and rural radio stations, saying those stations provide vital news during fires, outages and road closures, and that only about 3% of the ad budget currently goes to them. He said he was not asking for new spending, only better use of existing dollars. The Liberal parliamentary secretary replied that local media and journalists need support and said the government’s budget provides funding to help them produce fact-based local news.Written by AI from the debate.
