STV Ending North News Bulletin

Lodged by Douglas Lumsden Standard Motion 35 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament condemns the decision by STV to shut down its STV North news bulletins; regrets what it sees as the increasing centralisation of news services in Glasgow and the central belt; believes that this move will silence rural voices and mean that community issues in the north and north east of Scotland will receive less media attention; notes reports that this decision will result in approximately 60 people losing their jobs, and urges STV to urgently reconsider this action.
