Britain’s culture ministry, the DCMS, is to be restyled as the department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
The name change is an acknowledgement of the way the 25 year old department has evolved. It will continue to be known as the DCMS.
Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Karen Bradley said: “DCMS celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and it is fitting now to include Digital in the name. The department has taken on significant new responsibilities in recent years, so that half of its policy and delivery work now covers the digital sectors – telecommunications, data protection, internet safety, cyber skills and parts of media and the creative industries.”
The core of the department remains the same and covers arts, culture, the creative industries, sport, tourism and heritage.
