It’s good to see the Welsh media is taking a more critical look at the impact of European funds on the Welsh economy and what other countries have spent their money on and if you haven’t seen this week’s ITV Wales’s Wales this Week its worth checking out.
It’s a small step and perhaps recognition that the Welsh media has been prone to reproducing Welsh Government propaganda on the Welsh economy for too long rather than questioning decisions and offering at least some basic analysis.
However we should welcome this new found interest and hope its the start of a period of a more in-depth analysis and reporting from the Welsh media on the state and performance of Welsh economy. It can help inform and reach a wider audience especially when combined with BBC Wales’s announcement during its shake up that they are creating an Economic Correspondents post, which will hopefully help in explain the ebb and flow of the Welsh economy, where Wales economic strengths and weakness lie, what power the Welsh Government, local government and associated agencies have to improve things and what they can do to improve things and how those efforts fit into the wider UK, European and global economy to help Wales grow.Any source
