An intersting article on Asians in Media magazine online about the BBC and how the content of especially newsreels are more entertaining than informative.
..."The viewer loses out by being exposed to an uninformative and deliberately sensationalist charade."
Does this mean that 'life isn't all ha ha hee hee" was too part of nothing but mere entertainment? If it is interpreted in this way; the institution may be considered irrelevant since
..."across our media landscape the tone of analysis has become increasingly frenzied as commentators are encouraged not to inform their readers or sit on the fence but instead play to their prejudices."...
If 'neutral' reportage of news has come to this what can we expect from drama series and the extent of accuracy in the representation of ethnicity and class it depicts?
