NDM News: Globalisation
Globalisation and news: blog task
1.) I definitely do think that America has a huge influence in other countries' news, given for example, the presidential election of 2016 between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, which has concerned people on a global scale, even though they're not subject and being affected by the result. On a lower scale however, would be the EU referendum would also be another example, however wasn't necessarily as anent.
2.) With ever increasing and faster access to the Internet, twinned with the unstoppable explosion of the Web, a global platform has been created. A platform that has nurtured traditional media and introduced a variety of new media, including media created by the audience itself. This platform is available to anyone with connection to the Internet and creates a 'surveillance' for consumers. It is also a demonstration of freedom of speech, where users have the right to acknowledge any information that is posted on the Internet.
3.) Globalisation has both benefited and put news institutions at a disadvantage sometimes close level, and sometimes at a huge level. A disadvantage would obviously be the sourcing in how institutions are presenting them in, and whether if it has been presented by another institution already, etc. Essentially, point is that the news industry is a competitive industry.
