Broadcasting (Funding) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
The use of media is important. The Minister agrees that the use of media is important and this is generally reflected in his legislation. Media is hugely important in preserving our culture and in reflecting and preserving our heritage in the modern era. Community media is a distinct strand of that and this legislation would be the ideal vehicle through which to open a fund to provide the necessary investment to give community media the kick start it needs.
