Due to new and digital media social networking site. For example twitter, phone apps etc. news that I posted on twitter gets old very quickly is more important than ever due to news breaking on Twitter or elsewhere online. However, this in turn changes the approach of other news sources such as newspapers as the news will probably already be broken by the time the paper is published so different angles might be required.
Familiarity: is it culturally close to us in Britain?
I guess with new and digital technology we have become more globally aware of news stories which affect other countries both big and small, U.K. users of the internet could also go to U.S. news sites. I believe that nowadays due to technology we are only interested in stories which are big in the U.S. or has some sort of British individual being affected, the more British people affected then the more it'll be covered by from several online sites aimed at the U.K.
