I鈥檓 the 大象传媒鈥檚 media correspondent and this is my brief selection of what鈥檚 going on.

Regional television news programmes on 大象传媒 One and ITV1 could be abolished once new proposals for local channels are up and running, the culture secretary Jeremy Hunt has said. The he was laying out his proposals for establishing American-style local news in the UK, with up to 80 towns and cities receiving their own television news as early as 2013.

Can local TV be made to work in the UK? I look at some of the problems that need to be overcome.

The video websites such as YouTube may be more tightly regulated to ensure that new internet-enabled television services do not expose children to inappropriate content. Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, said that a new Communications Act, which he hopes will be in force by 2015, should legislate for developments that will allow viewers to watch internet videos or television programmes that were originally broadcast after the 9pm watershed.

The the former Financial Times editor, Sir Richard Lambert, and Lord Patten have emerged as the favourites to be the new 大象传媒 Trust chairman, following reports that Sir Howard Davies has withdrawn from the process. It says Lord Patten has already been interviewed and other interviews will take place next week.

The 大象传媒鈥檚 Rory Cellan-Jones says a clutch of British newspaper groups have launched paid applications for smartphones and tablet computers - but the jury is out on whether any has found the right recipe at the right price.

The 大象传媒鈥檚 newspaper review says the government鈥檚 planned changes to the NHS in England are put under the microscope by many of the papers. The Independent says it is an 鈥渆xperiment鈥 and a reckless way to go about reform. The Daily Mirror is firmly opposed, calling the government鈥檚 plan 鈥渁 sick dose of private upheaval鈥.
