JOURNALISTS NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1994, tabled 24 July 2007 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 52 members.

That this House notes the concern expressed by politicians, community organisations and the public over declining standards in many media; notes that journalists themselves have expressed similar concerns; welcomes the day of action being taken by media workers in the UK and across Europe on 5th November; believes that there is a link between concentration of media ownership, profiteering by media companies, staffing cuts and declining standards; and urges the relevant authorities to investigate the effects such factors have on media standards.

Signatures by party: Labour 32, Liberal Democrat 13, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
