The BBC has developed proposals with the local news industry across the UK, and most recently in Northern Ireland, to improve the provision of local journalism. The partnership (Local Democracy Reporting Service) will recruit a number of new journalists, employed by local news providers, to report on local institutions and public service issues; a News Hub - syndication of BBC local audio and video content for use by local and regional news organisations; and the Shared Data Unit - partnering with local news organisations on data journalism and making content available to wider industry.
