Why we need 'boring' news

Article Abstract:

Some of those attending the 1999 NewsWorld global summit in Barcelona, Spain, believe that within only five to 10 years expensive news bulletins will be pushed off mainstream commercial television and on to 24-hour news channels. Research indicates that the arrival of more television channels through satellite and digital broadcasting is changing people's viewing habits, encouraging them to change channels frequently until something attracts their attention. It is clear that television audiences will become more fragmented, with some viewers seeking greater depth and immediacy than conventional television news broadcasting can offer.

Conflict over our identities has replaced the battle of ideologies

Article Abstract:

A conflict between identities may emerge in the UK as questions are raised about what it means to be British and what relationships should exist between the elements that make up the UK. There is widespread concern in the UK about a changing sense of identity, and this will increasingly become a political issue as the Labour and Conservative parties clash over devolution, the euro and relations with the European Union. The UK must become sufficiently inclusive to welcome new, reasonable links between Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.

TV news has to play a generation game

Article Abstract:

Significant changes are taking place in the television broadcasting of news as challenges such as talk radio and the Internet emerge. It is clear that network television news broadcasting must adapt to these challenges, ensuring that it does not only appeal to older people. The UK remains a world player in television news, and should be aware of the need to evolve in this area if news broadcasting is to appeal to both the young and the old.
