NDM News: Globalisation

1) Is our news influenced by American cultural imperialism? What examples can you think of?
Although contrarily arguable, I believe that the news of Britons is much profoundly influenced by domestic British organisations rather than American conglomerates. News services by FOX for example, are mocked by British critics and most media intellectuals due to the sheer ignorance and bias promoted by the corporation. Judging by the perspective of a Londoner, accustomed to ethnic diversity, the BBC provides a much culturally diverse news provision rather than traditional institutions such as the DailyMail or The Sun - ran by Murdoch. 
2) Has the increased globalisation of news improved the audience experience? How? Why?
It can be suggested that the globalisation of news has improved audience experiences as awareness and familiarisation is developed. This is informative as well as educational for audiences as they aren't ignorant to the wide range of social climates occurring worldwide. 
3) Has globalisation benefited or damaged major news institutions? How? Why?
Globalisation can be said to benefit major news institutions because they can now have increased power over foreign countries and manipulate their views and ideas - culture. However, damage can be incurred to such news insitutions as residents become familiarised to more personal and reliable accounts by people over social media - citizen journalism.
