The resources for local journalism have considerably reduced over recent years, meaning citizens are offered limited information about local affairs. The BBC Local Democracy Reporter Scheme, launched in 2017, was designed to address a democratic deficit by funding journalists that would work on hyperlocal media sites.The proposed project will examine several news organisations awarded funding. It will carry out interviews with key stakeholders and develop a content analysis of local news sites to assess how effectively the BBC's resources have strengthened the quality of journalism. It will contribute to international debates about the democratic consequences of subsidising journalism.

近年来，地方新闻资源大大减少，这意味着公民获得的有关地方事务的信息有限。BBC地方民主记者计划于2017年启动，旨在通过资助在超地方媒体网站工作的记者来解决民主赤字问题。拟议的项目将审查几家获得资助的新闻机构。它将与主要利益攸关方进行访谈，并对地方新闻网站进行内容分析，以评估英国广播公司的资源如何有效地提高了新闻质量。这将有助于国际上关于新闻业补贴的民主后果的辩论。
