News intro and language from Great Baddow High School Media
Notes:
Paper 1: Section A (45 marks)
-News and online:
An in depth study of online, social and participatory
AND
An in depth study of offline, print newspapers
Overview:
-Newspapers have been around since the mid 17th century (probably earlier in some forms).
-Until the 20th century (and the intro of audio visual broadcasting - radio/pathe news) newspapers were the primary means of bringing news to the public.
-Unlike news broadcasting, newspapers do not have to be impartial - they are allowed to show their political bias.
-They are largely self regulating. They have a regulating body- IPSO the independent Press Standards organisation (formerly the press complaints commission).
- Leveson inquiry 2011 - in response to allegations of phone hacking ate the News of The World (amongst others) was carried out. It suggested a code of conduct and tighter controls be imposed - nothing has really happened about this (apart from the new IPSO instead of the PCC)
- The newspaper industry is largely in decline in terms of print circulation. Newspapers have had to adapt and move online in a bid for survival.
