The objective of the amendments in this grouping is to ensure that local sound broadcasters can avail of the scheme for professional journalistic practices which is being provided for in the Bill. Under this scheme grant funding will be available for broadcasters to provide training or professional development for persons employed by or providing services to the broadcaster in relation to promoting good professional journalistic practices. Without the amendments, this scheme would be restricted to community sound broadcasters.
