1) Is our news influenced by American cultural imperialism? What examples can you think of?
Yes, our news is influenced by American cultural imperialism. For example, CNN had 24 hour news available and Sky copied them and now have 24 hour news. Also, the layout is the same as CNN's.
2) Has the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience? How? Why?
Yes, the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience, as they are able to view live footage of news for example the bombings in Syria. It allows them to view live footage and experience it. However, the news is less likely to make it local. Audiences have a great amount of choice, they can choose from a range of news channels, and watch the news any time and anywhere.
3) Has globalisation benefited or damaged major news institutions? How? Why?
I think globalisation has benefited and damaged major news institutions. It has benefited them as they don't have to have a separate journalist in every country, which is cheaper for them. But also, they have citizen journalists sending in stories, pictures and videos about different news. However it has damaged major news institutions, as it is harder for a news companies to stand out in global institutions, for example the Ealing Gazette. It is hard for them to stand out with the other major newspapers out, such as The Sun.
