The consolidation of local news outlets has continued, with larger media groups acquiring independent publications. This has raised concerns about the diversity of voices in local journalism but has also created more financially sustainable business models in some cases.


Traditional media organisations like the Belfast Telegraph and The Irish News have intensified their digital transformation efforts, investing in enhanced online platforms, multimedia content and subscription models to offset declining print revenues.


Political developments following Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol have spurred increased collaboration between Northern Irish media outlets and their counterparts in the Republic of Ireland, creating new content partnerships and distribution channels.


BBC Northern Ireland has adapted its approach to better serve local audiences, with increased investment in digital-first content while maintaining its traditional broadcasting role. This evolution reflects broader changes in audience consumption patterns.


Despite financial challenges, community media initiatives have shown resilience, often adopting innovative funding models combining public support, private investment and community contributions.
