LSE fellowship #HurKännsDet-campaign UK counterparts?

Solution? - A diverse influx of news sources
Forums - Muslim Youth Net
Technology -Nigerian Watch
Facebook groups -Afghan refugees

Problems? Newsroom attitudes Status Lack of skills – irrelevant recruitment Accesibility / dialogue
Risks Becoming less and less relevant for a large share of the population Losing revenue
Potential Core value of journalism – reporting for everyone
