gal-dem magazine

Early day motion 1062, tabled 17 April 2023 by Nadia Whittome (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House celebrates the achievements and legacy of gal-dem magazine, an online and print publication that was produced by and centred women and non-binary people of colour; notes that it gave life-changing opportunities to journalists from marginalised backgrounds; further notes its importance in platforming underrepresented issues, experiences and points of view; mourns its recent closure after eight years; recognises the need for a greater diversity of voices and perspectives in UK media; believes that independent media is an important component of the media landscape that is in need of greater support during the cost of living crisis; and wishes all those whose jobs have been affected by gal-dem’s closure every success for the future.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Plaid Cymru 3, Scottish National Party 3, Independent 2, Green 1.
