The Liverpool ECHO is a proud supporter of Journalism Matters - a week-long campaign led by the News Media Association to champion journalism and help safeguard its future.
The drive got underway on Monday with culture secretary Michelle Donelan pledging to be a “champion of journalism” and stating one of the most pressing things in her in-tray was “making sure this industry thrives in the digital age”.
News Media Association chief executive Owen Meredith said local journalism was becoming even more important, enjoying a boom in audiences as “people increasingly turn to sources of trusted information”.
