1)I do agree with Alain de Botton's views on the news to some extent in that the news is changing due to the media, by this I mean that the news is interpreted in different ways due to the media and links in with bias which I also agree with in that most likely there aren't two sided arguments to a news story.I believe that audiences are dis empowered by the developments in new and digital media to a large extent.
2)You can link marxism and hegemony to Alain's criticisms of the news in that that broadcasting programmes such as BBC are bias, are not being fair and may give information that the viewers want this then allows them to get the power over other organisations due to their popularity because they don't not get paid by posting adverts.
3)The news now gives us many different platforms in which we can access the news whether its on the go or at home we can access the news at any time. This also allows us to get news that we want to hear and any type of news such as technology to sport news.
