Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion
Mr. Declan Gibbons:
It needs to be resourced, which needs to be targeted. It is a danger that if a resource is given and it is not pointed in a particular direction, it might not go where the need is greatest at a given time. Therefore, a targeted measure, such as the bursary or a support towards journalism, where there has to be a person there and the funding is accounted for means the station's resources can be improved on an ongoing basis. I agree that the need is huge.
