1) In my opinion, I believe that the British news has been effected massively by the American Cultural Imperialism. For example, there are many different things that are being produced which we all look at daily but what the British people don't know is, that a lot of them are owned by American companies. We have now become very reliant and dependent on the US culture on news etc.
2) I believe that the increased globalization of news has improved the audiences experience. This is because of the fact that there is a lot more content in which the audience can now view and now can find out a lot of what is going on in the different countries we would've normally been interested in. A lot of this has come through the use of citizen journalism as nowadays, anyone can post reliant news on different social media sites and can also sell it onto the very reliant news companies such as BBC news. In addition, whoever has got access to the internet means that anyone around the world can explore what is happening in the other countries and this is why McLuhan came up with the 'Global Village'.
3) To some extent, I believe that globalisation has damaged a lot of news institutions especially our home grown institutions. With the use of globalisation, American companies have now started to take over a lot of British companies since they have become the dominant country in terms of the upgrade in technology; Most of the major technology institutions are American grown and nowadays, we have become very reliant on what others have started to produced other than what us (Britain) are doing.
