Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Future of the Media Sector: Discussion
Mr. Paul Farrell:
I would see it in the context of what our remit is. We are a commercial broadcaster and we have to sustain ourselves commercially. We can fulfil a public remit, which we do within our licence under the news obligation, and there is funding to make that better or to enable us to do a better service in terms of representing the news agenda and societal public broadcasting better. Associated funding that is transparent, contested and accountable would help us all.
