Having discussed these in class, you now need to answer the following questions on your blog:
1) Is our news influenced by American cultural imperialism? What examples can you think of?
I believe our news is becoming increasingly influenced by American cultural imperialism. An example would be the CNN news which is an American news channel which operates 24/7. Due to this many audiences had the chance to catch up on the news any time they wanted as the news was on all day. On the other hand, Sky news did not have their news streaming for 24/7 however by seeing how CNN 24/7 hour news attracted many audiences they also changed their news to 24/7. Therefore this shows how our news is influenced by American cultural imperialism news.
2) Has the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience? How? Why?
Yes. The audiences are able to view live footage and experience it more so real. For an example, they are able to witness the disasters that are happening around the world. This improves the way audiences identify things. Moreover, the news generate at a much faster speed. With a great amount of choice to choose from for the audiences. However, the negative element to this is globalisation means that it’s less likely to make it local. It can also bias the audience’s views and choices. However, the choices may disappoint some of the audiences as they may not want to consistently see the news as a mainstream element. With wanting to know what Is happening in a local perspective.
3) Has globalisation benefited or damaged major news institutions? How? Why?
Yes. It has both damaged and benefited major news institutions. Firstly, it has benefited it as with different institutions there are a wide range of journalists in every inch of the country. Therefore, it makes it easier for institutions and less costly as they wouldn’t need journalists worldwide as it’s globalised on a big scale. It’s damaged due to the fact that News organisations at time plagiarize sites. Also, for news institutions its harder to sand out in a global market.
