News
What is the purpose of news? - could be an exam question, if it was you would need examples.
•Newspapers are NOT PSB-Public Service Broadcasting (like the BBC) they are commercial publications. Over three quarters (77.8%) of the British press is owned by a handful of billionaires. Over a quarter (27.3 per cent) of the press is owned by Lord Rothermere and 24.9 per cent by Rupert Murdoch – between them these two men have over 50 per cent of the printed press.
•Newspapers and their online publications (example of synergy/convergence) are not legally obliged to provide a un-bias public information service. There are ethical and moral codes of press conduct but the printed press is self regulatory industry.
News is not a spectator sport anymore because of media we can create, share or be passive about the news.
The French Revolution 150 years ago changed news because they wanted freedom of the press which affected the UK because we took influences from them.
