I thank John Griffiths for that, Llywydd. I was very pleased to be able to send a message of congratulations to the South Wales Argus a week or so ago on its hundred-and-thirtieth birthday. John Griffiths is right, Llywydd, that the appetite for news about Wales and decisions being made in Wales was undoubtedly lifted by the experience of the pandemic. The Welsh Government has carried out over 250 press conferences during that period, 200 of them carried live by the BBC, and over 50 organisations have taken part to ask questions of Ministers during that period. John Griffiths is right—the span of interest in Wales went from questions from CNN for a global audience at the one end of the spectrum to questions from the Caerphilly Observer and Llanelli Live at the other end of the spectrum. Investment in grass-roots public interest journalism is very important to create a pipeline of journalists for the future.

It's always a slightly tricky thing, isn't it, for Government to invest in journalism. I'm always reminded of what the famous American journalist H.L. Mencken said—that the relationship between a journalist and a politician is the same as the relationship between a dog and a lamppost. And there's a good reason for that, isn't there? We want journalists to be separate from the political world. There is a way, and we are finding the right way, to make the sorts of investments that John Griffiths mentioned to be able to put investment into those grass roots without in any way compromising the capacity of journalists and news agencies here in Wales to carry out the job of scrutiny and, where necessary, criticism that they quite rightly fulfil.
