1) Is our news influenced by American cultural imperialism? What examples can you think of?
- American child doing hiccups while singing the American national anthem.
- This is american news which is not valued in Britain.
- American news is poor.
2) Has the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience? How? Why?
- Improved the audience experience as global news is available almost instantaneously and this is a result of globalisation,
- It is extremely beneficial to be updated on global issues and globalisation has helped us stay connected with people and this has improved the audience experience.
- However, globalisation has damaged local news therefore the audiences are struggling to stay updated with their local issues.
3) Has globalisation benefited or damaged major news institutions? How? Why?
- Globalization has damaged the news institutions because majority consumers today get their through social media e.g twitter and Facebook.
- Institutions are questioned about the accuracy of their news because of the lack of gatekeepers online
- Smaller institutions also suffer from this as Globalization as they are not adapting with new/digital media which results in a decrease in consumers.
- Benefited both news institutions and consumers as they no longer have to visit their local shops to buy newspapers and institutions can save money from printing
- They can access everything online whenever they like meaning institutions aren't restricted by international boarders
- Citizen journalism has also been a positive impact as these institutions no longer have to pay journalists or have journalists around the world to report news when they already have citizens reporting news through their smartphones instantly.
