A committee of experts called the earlier planned cuts in the budget for local media a weakening of the news supply in the city. She came up with an alternative proposal, in which the municipality will pursue a serious media policy. That is currently lacking, according to the committee. In this proposed policy, investigative journalism will be strengthened, U in de Wijk will be expanded and money will be made available for other initiatives. The committee no longer sees a role for local TV, such as U-Stad, and radio, such as Bingo FM.
