Sharing News

Watching the Sunday morning news programs on the BBC reinforces some conversations we had at the Financial Times and later in class.  In London, print newspapers are quite important.  In the U.S. we talk all too often about their growing irrelevance, but not in London.  On both BBC Breakfast and The Andrew Marr Show -- Sunday morning news talk shows -- the hosts and commentators from various spheres of expertise opine on reports from The Times, The Guardian, The Mail, et cetera.  It's an example of media feeding media.  It's one medium extending the reach and content of another.
