Stop press

Article Abstract:

The major world media groups are competing in the TV news market and the amount of news programs produced is increasing. CNN faces competition from BBC World, and Euronews is a competitor in Europe to both CNN and the BBC. Star News has been launched in India, and niche news services are also being developed. Living patterns have changed, and this affects when news is broadcast. There is concern about the quality of news as space-fillers become more common. Consumer affairs are reported more, and political issues reported less. Broadcasters should take issues such as decency and trust into account.
