Broadcast Journalism
Does the news tell us too much, or not enough?

	Television journalism brings affairs from around the world close to home by broadcasting major events such as bombings, elections, criminal trials, natural disasters and coups. Reports by international journalists from the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), the World Service and CNN (Cable News Network) are transmitted around the world and provide news to ordinary citizens and policy makers in time of crisis and peace. The news helps people stay informed in order to make the best decisions for themselves. But does it go too far? Can it be misleading? Is it accurate and objective or sensationalistic and biased? Does the news tell us too much, or not enough?
