For decades, the country’s press sector relied largely on two traditional sources of revenue: print circulation and advertising. However, the rise of social media and cross-border digital platforms has fundamentally altered that equation, forcing newsrooms to rethink how they operate and generate income. According to experts, the economics of journalism have become one of the biggest challenges facing media organisations in the digital era. Advertising revenues have shifted rapidly to global platforms such as Google, Facebook and TikTok, while the decline of print circulation has further eroded traditional income streams. At the same time, news organisations are under mounting pressure…

The scheme for 68 homes in Barns Green near Horsham had already been met with strong objections from residents concerned about its impact on local infrastructure, wildlife and the rural character of the village.
