  • The Future of Public Service Broadcasting DMG Media Response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee's Call
    Written evidence submitted by DMG Media The Future of Public Service Broadcasting DMG Media response to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee’s call for evidence 1. This response is made on behalf of DMG Media, the publishers of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline, Metro, Metro.co.uk, the ‘i’ and inews. It is being submitted because BBC online news competes for audience with our digital titles and we are concerned that funding changes could give the BBC an unfair advantage. 2. DMG Media is not a broadcaster, and public service broadcasters have by longstanding convention not published newspapers. Therefore, whilst over the decades our news titles and the BBC may have had political and cultural differences, they have not been commercial rivals. 3. However the coming of the digital age has changed that. The philosophical foundation of the BBC was that in return for public funding and access to scarce broadcast spectrum, it would develop then-new technology (radio and television) and use it to provide, in addition to education and entertainment, an impartial news service. The written word was not part of its remit. 4. The unlimited possibilities of the internet have destroyed the rationale of that arrangement. Satellite, cable, and now streaming have brought new competitors into the entertainment market, global players with vastly greater resources than the BBC. 5. The BBC is dependent for funding on the licence fee, over which successive governments have resolutely retained control, doubtless believing that a national broadcaster which has to regularly come to the government of the day with a begging bowl is more likely to be compliant.

  • DMG Media Submission on the Impact of Covid 19 on the Media and Journalism
    Written evidence submitted by DMG Media DMG Media submission on the impact of Covid 19 on the media and journalism 1. DMG Media is the publisher of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline, Metro, Metro.co.uk, the i, and inews. 2. There can be no doubt that Covid 19 has had the most profound effect on the media business, not only in the short term, but in the medium and long term, where the timeframe within which the industry has to manage the transfer from print to digital will be dramatically shortened. Taking in turn the questions asked by the Committee: What has been the immediate impact of Covid-19 on the sector? 3. The most obvious impact - to our journalists but, we are glad to say, not to our readers - is that in the space of two weeks, from a standing start, we went over entirely to remote working. From March 24 onwards all our five newsrooms, normally home to around 1000 journalists, were completely empty. Everyone worked from home but, thanks to the energy and ingenuity of our IT department, the newspapers still rolled off the presses and our websites were still updated minute by minute as the Covid crisis unfolded. 4. The commercial impact has been equally dramatic. April 2020, the first full month of Covid, saw overall revenue drop by 33pc year-on-year, advertising 46pc and circulation 17pc. Print advertising revenue was hit much harder than digital – 69pc down against 16pc. The position is now improving, but slowly: in June DMG Media is forecast to make a small profit.
