1 ) Do you agree with James Murdoch that the BBC should not be allowed to provide free news online? Why? I do not completely agree with the argument that James Murdoch has presented, however i believe there is a lot of problem that lies within the Newspaper Industry due to lack of revenue. For example  Journalism is a key aspect in the newspaper industry as it is how the information is gathered and correctly reinforced to the public whilst keeping them interested and educated. Unfortunately, a lot of newspaper companies tend to  have problems such as a lack of advertising revenue therefore it is not shocking as  they have to turn towards non-profit organisation such as the public to keep on being able to produce top high quality journalism and news   this blog on the Times paywall three years on 2) Was Rupert Murdoch right to put his news content (The Times, The Sunday Times) behind a paywall? I can comprise and understand Rupert Murdoch perspe...

Lastly within the United States, Bernie Sanders is the most popular socialist politicians] The reason for a revival of socialism is because people no longer have faith and hope within our elitist favouring system that has been failing the majority of citizens especially the youth for years now. Standard of living has collapsed throughout the world whilst those with riches seem to be prospering more than ever. This can be linked to social media as we have seen has social media can bring massess and masses of people together and unite them to fight for a cause such as black lives matter and other movements.

Link: https://t.co/aPvFpQ2pAV 64 years old Stephen Paddlock of mesquite Nevada was the attacker Paddlock, like majority of the mass shooters are white Americans The privellege lies within the ultimate conclusion and stereotypes used towards these attacks. Paddlock was declared as ' Lone Wolf' Donald Trump Tweets Positively 'May God bless the victims' (no comment on the attacker) White Privilege- given a head start in society and also the freedom from certain consequences of the individual and group actions.. This statement 'Lone wolf' is regarded highly problematic in many people's eyes as it removes the blame from the attackers and allows room for sympathy which is the opposite treatment found i many other cases which involved those of different ethnicity or religious backgrounds.

The future of newspapers : this article from the Economist on the future of newspapers The article discusses the factors and effects of the slowly eroding industry of the printed newspapers. It also talks about the advantages of the news industry such as it is the most reliable and diligent piece of media currently existing according to many such as Arthur Miller and Rupert Murdoch. It also mentions how the main factor towards decline of the newspaper industry is heavily linked to the growth and prosperity of the internet also known as 'global village'. 1)  Do you agree with its view that it is ‘a cause for concern, but not for panic’ I personally heavily agree with this statement as it is  vitally impossible to save the newspaper industry in this date and age due to the success and prosperity of its opponent, the internet. However there is still a need and dependence for the newspapers industry therefore stabilisation and reduction in decline is the curr...
