The noble Baroness, Lady Wheatcroft, was among those who spoke with great authority from their experience about the changing role of our media landscape. We have had many debates in your Lordships’ House, not least thanks to the Select Committee chaired by my noble friend Lady Stowell, that have looked at the future of news and the many challenges that beset our news organisations. Even in a place such as this where we can walk down the corridor and pick up a hard copy of a newspaper in the Library of your Lordships’ House, I wonder how many of us read a newspaper in physical copy rather than online. Either way, we are part of an unusual and declining section of the community who consume our news in that way.
