Globalisation

1) Is our news influenced by American cultural imperialism? What examples can you think of?

An example of how our news is influenced by American Culture imperialism is CNN being 24/7 news and how SKY have copied and done the same. Loads of the news we consume relates to celebrity, Hollywood and american life and we have a similar way of presenting news. Furthermore the layout for both the news organisations are similar. 

2) Has the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience? How? Why?

Globalisation of news has improved audience's experience, they can be updated with news instantly, receiving it quickly, getting live footage, video/pictures of disasters being closer to the events. News travels much faster and can create a hype or conversation between people all over the world. Audiences have quicker and world wide access to news from all over the world with a variety of choice as to what kind of news they want to read. However this results is less local coverage and hoaxes that fool people with staged false news which may lead news institution to even believe which would ruin their reputation.

3) Has globalisation benefited or damaged major news institutions? How? Why?

Globalisation has benefited majors news institution as they need to pay wages of fewer journalists since the need of having a journalist in every corner of the world isn't needed any more. furthermore The sun can employee the Sun's journalists to produce material for the Sun on Sunday, saving money for them as a business.

Saving them a great deal of money however the damage is on local news with less coverage of local news and local news papers being small institution suffer such as the Ealing Gazette harder for them to stand out. Citizen journalism may not always be reliable or professionally done compared to professional news.
