Bold, but just an idea...

BBC English regions and local radio boss David Holdsworth has blogged in defence of the proposal to fund 100 'public service' reporters around the UK, and stressed it's a proposal....

"The suggestion that our plans to to introduce these reporters across the country are an “extension of the BBC the backdoor” is not correct. Any local news organisation that has concerns about an expanding BBC can in fact bid to provide reporters to the Network. They would then be based in that organisation for the benefit of the whole news sector in that region. Bids could come from local and regional papers, agencies, journalism start-ups or citizen bloggers, as well as BBC teams, providing that bidders are both reputable and can meet the BBC Editorial Standards and Guidelines."
