News institutions research
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 ITN/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.
