That does underline the need for investment in our newspapers if they are to continue to flourish, and to perform the job that they do which is so vital for our public discourse and our democracy. That is why we all want to make sure not just that we are getting the rules right now in the regulations currently before the House, but that we have a regulatory regime which balances the need for protection of this vital part of our democracy, while also allowing space for investment to continue, so that these newspapers and press organisations can continue to flourish for many years to come.
