The appointment of the new members follows a recent report from S4C to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, in which it announced plans to place more emphasis on developing its online content, the release adds.

"The time when we can speak of 'new' media is fast coming to an end," chair of the new forum Dyfrig Jones said in the release.
