Credible public service media sources providing accurate news may die out if the Government keeps dithering over financial supports to prop them up.

That is according to the outgoing director general of RTÉ, Dee Forbes. She criticised the delay in Government support to ensure the continued survival of reliable, high-quality media in Ireland.
