Making the News 'Less London'

Why news outlets are claiming to have a non-metropolitan outlook on reporting the UK. What does it mean to have a 'non-metropolitan' bias?

The journalistic mood of the moment suggests that to tell the story of the UK more fairly and equitably, there need to be more reporting voices outside London. In March, The 大象传媒 announced plans to shift focus from the capital in a 'commitment to better reflect, represent, and serve all parts of the country'. When GB News launched, it promised to 'reach out to non-metropolitan audiences beyond London and engage them in our national conversation'. So what does it mean to have a 'non-metropolitan' bias?

With Lorna Willis, CEO of Archant, Nick Mitchell, editor of NationalWorld, Ifan Morgan Jones, founder of Nation.Cymru, and Shazia Ali, The People鈥檚 Newsroom.
