Is Scotland’s media ready for the next independence referendum?
Glasgow University has published an analysis of Scotland's media. "Scotland’s continued struggle with its “dual public sphere”, [is] an uncomfortable hybrid of UK-rooted media institutions and both established and emerging Scottish news titles with very different perspectives and priorities... The BBC, is ideologically rooted to a form of unionism and day to day it orbits around business in Westminster. ...
There is a feeling that "an insider class in Scotland’s media has emerged: a group of politicians, commentators, corporate actors and public bodies which is returned to again and again for comment, but which operates to limit dissent.
This reflects the broader problem of a lack of diversity of views which extends beyond political commentary to prioritising the agendas of Scotland’s two biggest cities and under-representing minority groups."
