Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether social media news feeds are considered by Ofcom in their assessment of media plurality.
The Government has commissioned Ofcom to produce a measurement framework for media plurality. Ofcom work independently of Government and it is for Ofcom to develop the measurement framework, in consultation with industry. However I understand Ofcom will be publishing a consultation on the measurement framework shortly.
