News institutions
Research the major players in terms of UK news providers and make notes in a detailed blog post. List companies, publications/ channels/programmes, owners, statistics and anything else you find relevant.
You must include all three platforms (print, broadcast, e-media) and both commercial and non-commercial institutions (e.g the BBC).
Make sure you include at least FIVE different institutions across the three platforms. You may wish to use bullet points to cover the key information about each institution.

Answer the following questions:

Finish for homework if you don't complete it in the lesson - due Friday.
