Documents, publications and latest news relating to the green paper, Watch this space: a new strategic direction for UK media.

At its best, our media provides the basis of a cohesive country and a healthy democracy. It provides a base of shared understanding and is this common ground on which a country is built. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is consulting on a comprehensive set of proposals to ensure our media, and television in particular, can continue to play its vitally important role in our society and our democracy. Following consultation, the government will develop final policy positions.

This page collates the consultation, news and publications which support this process, including next steps for the Future of TV Distribution project.
