What is News?

  • Information about events

  • A person or thing considered interesting enough to be reported in the news 
  • Informative but has become entertainment
  • Fake News
  • Political
  • Profit
  • Educate 
  • Influence/Persuade 
Facts 
  • Newspapers are NOT PSB (like the BBC) they are commercial publications.  Over three quarter (77.8%) of the British press is owned by a handful of Billionaires Over a quarter (27.3%) of the press is owned by Lord Rothermere and 24.9% by Rupert Murdoch- between them these 2 men have over 50% 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. These are ethical and moral codes of press conduct but the printed press is self regulatory industry.
