Article Abstract:

The Times and Telegraph newspapers are competing for dominance of the United kingdom market for quality national newspapers. This competition has led to top executives leaving both newspapers. The Times general manager, Chris Maybury, is being replaced with Alasdair MacLeod, a son in law of the owner, Rupert Murdoch. The newspapers are competing on price and there is likely to be concern at the Telegraph that many subscribers will stop buying the paper after a special offer ends. Running quality newspapers used to be seen as a higher calling than marketing and was perceived as taking care of a prestigious institution, but this has changed.

No funny business, OK?

Article Abstract:

Roseanne Barr believes that her planned daytime talk show will be very different from 'Oprah,' especially as it is to be produced by the same company. She does not believe that hosting a talk show is a strange move for someone who has devoted a large part of her career to being deliberately unconventional. She is very defensive of the last series of her situation comedy 'Roseanne,' stating that she believes that she was right to take risks with it. She now regards religion as one of her greatest sources of inspiration.

By-election vision put politics in spotlight

Article Abstract:

There is now intensive coverage of political issues on television in the UK. This may reach new heights if Tony Blair and John Major decide to go ahead with a live televised debate. However, it is only relatively recently that politics has held such a dominant position in television broadcasting in the UK. In the 1950s, for example, new and current affairs programmes were careful to avoid political issues. Nowadays, politicians are keenly aware of the need to come across positively on television.
