British Culture Secretary Andy Burnham will hold a day-long conference on how newspapers can survive in a digital age, UPI reported. Scheduled for April, the conference will bring together both government and industry representatives.
Burnham's approach to rescuing the industry involved the revocation of restrictions on newspaper mergers and government advertising in newspapers. He also suggested government support in the industry transition "into the digital age."

Burnham also put forward that the British Broadcasting System should seek involvement with private media groups forming, "public-private partnerships."
"The BBC could provide sound and images to the Web site of the local newspaper," he said, according to UPI. In return, "newspapers can provide information for BBC Web sites" and could "work together providing a service under the trusted banner of the local paper."
