Is Tv news a window on the world

The link above is showing the unmediated and impartial view on the world.


The picture above is the rules that been in placed to make Tv News to be impartial. Ofcom tells us that it should do this but it's pretty much impossible to show the news impartial because the have to cut bits out, before it gets to us.

News value
Galtung and Ruge (1973) believed that our perception of what constitutes an event is culturally determined and not a natural occurrence – but they also believed that it related to ‘human culture’ and therefore should not vary too much globally.

The gate keeping process

Gatekeeping is the process through which information is filtered for dissemination, whether for publication, broadcasting, the Internet, or some other mode of communication.





They news is planned like a narrative, they choose what bits they show us and what order they tell us in. This is why the news cant be unmediated.
I think that Tv news is a window on the world but only a small part of it but with out it we wouldn't know as much about what is going round us.
