Welsh government to fund reporter to cover Senedd
By David DeansThe Welsh government has announced it will fund a reporter to cover the proceedings of the Senedd.
It is part of a £200,000 package which the Welsh government says is being made to strengthen local journalism, as part of its co-operation deal with Plaid Cymru.Richard Gurner, editor and publisher of the Caerphilly Observer, said the idea had come from the Welsh members of the Independent Community News Network - an industry body which represents about 120 publications across the UK.
"Unfortunately the current business model of the media is under huge amount of pressure and those resources that were perhaps there 30, 40, even 10 years ago, aren't there today."He added: "If there was any sort of suggestion that there would be editorial interference, I wouldn't be involved in the project.
