Title: newspapers.
Post by: tidla on 19 February 2011, 22:39:44
a recent thread listed quite a few newspapers, some regional which i had never heard of.

some have the same owners (i paper). some support one political party or try to cater for a cerain social group.

the question is, how come they all generally run the same story?

who is this great provider of news content.

such power!

They have streams from Rueters etc into their offices and then they write the story with their own particular slant or spin on it, although when big stories break they will send their own reporters or have  correspondents already in the area to cover it.
