Broadcasting

The Government is committed to developing Scotland as a production centre for television, film and new media and is working to ensure that the right conditions exist in Scotland to allow these industries to flourish.

As part of the creative industries, the screen industries are a key area for development as set out in the Scottish Government's Economic Strategy.

The Government further believes that support to creative industries is best delivered in partnership with creative industries organisations, getting involved according to skills, expertise and knowledge. Recently published documents highlighted below, outline how that partnership will work:
