This workshop, which was supported by the Royal Society of Edinburgh, explored the current economic and cultural state of the Scottish national newspaper press in relation to the digitization of the media, the proposed regulatory structures coming out of the Leveson Inquiry, and the urgent democratic challenge of the upcoming independence referendum.  It brought together key researchers, journalists, editors, and policymakers from Scotland and the wider UK while also providing an international perspective on the current state of Scotland’s national press.  The programme is here.  The next workshop in the series will be on 4 October.
