With an increasing number of people turning to social media for their news, is there still a place for traditional newspapers?

Absolutely, but their role is shifting. Increasingly the home of long-form, investigative journalism, the weekend papers in particular have broken some of the biggest stories of the past few years.
Their journalists search for the truth, aren’t afraid to challenge and are critical in holding those in positions of power to account. But they do this within the boundaries of a code of conduct that means their readers can trust what’s written – and that’s why we can’t afford to lose them.

One hundred per cent. Professional journalists are more fundamental than ever, acting as the custodians of accurate information and holding political leaders accountable, especially in a time when misinformation and “fake news” seem to be everywhere.
The lobby journalists who live and breathe Westminster politics are still driving the news agenda in a big way, especially with politics having been such a major part of the news discourse over the last decade. Also, let’s not forget, when you turn on broadcast news or listen to a current affairs podcast, those producers will always look to the newspapers to set the agenda.
