Has ULTV put forward proposals for enhancing training and apprenticeships in community media projects?
7.1. At present, a great deal of training in media outside of post-graduate courses is ‘ad hoc’ with local grants and projects differing from area-to-area. Whilst there are benefits to targeting funds on local projects designed to meet local demand, ULTV has also suggested that a ‘citizens’ media’ fund may be worthy of exploration, potentially helping to fund structured training in local communities and to support innovative media projects. 7.2. Often working alongside existing local media providers, local TV would develop new opportunities for employment, training and community participation in media across the UK.
