PROS AND CONS OF HAVING ONE COMPANY DELIVER NEWS VIA DIFFERENT METHODS

PRO:• Everyone can easily access the news• It can target and edit the news to specific audience members• If the news is online and it says current news, it means that it is news that is

happening right now• Individual news papers have their own “spin” on the news• The media outlets/subsidiaries get funding from the company that owns themCON• It’s always the same news but in a different form• The news (when on Radio, TV and Print) are not “breaking news”. News that is not

currently happening, it is always news that is either an hour, a day or a week late• The news can be bias as it is one company that is producing• The news subsidiaries could be restricted as the company that owns them makes

the rules and regulations subsidiaries have to follow
