Media subsidies for citizens – report out

’Mediestøtte for borgerne – demokratisering, fremtidssikring, og forenkling’ (Media subsidies for citizens – democratization, futureproofing, and simplification). The recommendations from the Commission on the Future of Media Subsidies that I have chaired for the Danish government is now out.

In our report, we have worked to develop a set of principles to undergird and practical solutions to deliver direct subsidies to news media in Denmark in a way that will modernize the current system and ensure it can work in an effective, legitimate, and transparent manner going forward.

For those interested in having a look at the full report in Danish, it is available here.

And stay tuned for more from me in English in the coming weeks, summarizing key parts of the approach we outline, as I hope our work will be useful elsewhere

It was a real privilege to chair the commission over the last year, and to work with the members and the civil servants who supported us.
