Safeguarding democracy and the role of business: Local news plays a powerful role in society. It holds local politicians and decision makers to account, offers an invaluable local source of truth and it creates a sense of place, identity, shared interests and concerns for communities otherwise disparate.  And yet local news is struggling everywhere you look at a time when it’s needed most. Is there a role for business to play? How should companies be thinking about their relationship with local news? Or should ‘we’ let them go to the wall?

BritishAmerican Business members will be joined by government decision makers, think tanks and policy makers in the first of two roundtables presented in partnership with Microsoft.
