Globalisation

Group 1 - Is our news influence by American cultural imperialism? 


The news that we gain is from is influenced by America as it relates to what america and their lifestyle. For example one of the main things that have been taken from  American culture imperialism would be the 24 hour news. This is something that American started with that England now follow for example they have now created 24 hour news such as BBC 24 hour, sky news etc. However British people want to consume British new so not all news channels focus on American cultural imperialism.

Group 2 - Has the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience? How why? 
The increase in globalisation of news improve the audience experience as they are now able to view live live footage. This gives the effect that audiences see exactly what has happened this make the new more real as they see the real life footage, this can be given through citizen journalists. This is because news can travel much faster than before meaning their are more ways of news travelling, like word of mouth etc this make news travel faster as their are many people globally. The only problem with receive news like this is that its not always reliable. Having false news being spread can be quite embarrassing for the person who has present the false news.

Group 3 - Has globalisation benefited or damaged major news institution? How? Why? 
Benefits as globalisation will mean that it will be cheaper for institutions, as most of the money an institution has will be wages of journalists. By having globalisation new this means that institution can use other journalists work to find out what is happening in other parts of the world. 

Both benefited and damaged major news institutions, a major benefit is that they now do not need to pay to have a lot of staff as globalisation makes quick easy links between countries and journalist and also encourages citizen journalism to help cover news that journalist may not have seen or been able to report. But the damaging effects of globalisation is that the news that is sent in from citizen journalist may not be as reliable or professionally done as the news institution would have done themselves. Also globalisation has increased news institutions competition as globalisation makes them compete with other news institutions globally which therefore makes it harder for the major institution to be seen or heard on a global scale, which means they could potentially lose some of their audience.
