In Ofcom’s annual report on the performance of the BBC, they state that

> “Separately, we are undertaking work to better understand local media provision. This includes new research into what audiences across the UK value about local media, such as the role of local media in building social cohesion and engagement in local communities.”

I hope this will be an open process that a wide range of interested parties can contribute to?

What would be the priorities for Better Media in contributing to this consultation?
