The Future of Media Commission has been constituted as an independent body whose members have been appointed on the basis of their expertise in broadcast, print and online media. The composition of the Commission represents a balanced mix of experts in public service media, independent journalism, social media, new technology platforms, media economics, culture, language, creative content, governance and best international practice.

The Commission itself is not intended to be a stakeholder representative forum, and as such none of its members have been appointed in an ex-officio capacity.

It is envisaged that the Commission will engage comprehensively with key stakeholders, including journalists and their representatives, publishers, regional media, and the wider public.
