I see this position as a government position, not editor-general of some news source.
I view the position as a Government position, used to keep citizens up to date with what's going on around the country, not just regional stuff. I view the position as one that should keep The People updated and informed. I want to encourage activity with some new ideas.
You should change
the law if you want to make it that. I have never seen a SoIA really do any of this. If you don't plan to focus mainly on this, then why have the position?
