Digital cultural policy in the United Kingdom

Abstract

This chapter argues that UK digital cultural policy is diverging from that of the European Union as the country tries to work out its post-Brexit settlement. This divergence is largely in a de-regulatory direction as the search for economic competitiveness is paramount and a populist-right Government is keen to stress its ideological distinctiveness from the EU. The contradictions and tensions that this gives rise to, and which curtail its ability to regulate this policy domain, are the subject of this chapter which looks at examples from broadcasting, online content and museums as well as more general policy statements.
