BBC sport and online news to be cut as Red Button services face axe

• Spending on athletics and minority sports is to be cut by the BBC, with its Red Button services also facing the axe,
• the corporation aims to save £150m a year before its final round of budget negotiations with the government.
• The broadcaster will cut online news and make savings in overheads as it deals with a funding shortfall, but it has promised to protect spending on drama

The BBCThe corporation has struggled to compete for live sports rights against well-financed rivals Sky and BT, leaving many to fear the future of free-to-air sports broadcasting.The corporation has already guaranteed the survival of some of its most popular sports programming, including Match of the Day and Wimbledon. However, in June, it lost control of the rights to the Olympic Games from 2022 on wards, after US broadcaster Discovery, the owner of Euro sport, made a £920m offer for exclusive pan-European rights.This year, it lost the rights to the Open Golf Championship to Sky, bringing to an end 61 years of providing live coverage of the event.So BBC are losing are large amount of their core audience as people enjoy BBC live coverage of supports as it very well presented and doesn't go on break.

BBC to cut entertainment and comedy but plans new Saturday night shows

• Unveiling full details of savings totalling £150m, the director general, Tony Hall, also said that BBC News would see its budget cut by £5m
• The BBC’s online services are facing a £12m reduction.
• The cuts are part of £150m in savings announced by Tony Hall earlier this year as the BBC tries to close the “iPlayer loophole” created by people working out they do not need paying for a licence fee if they only watching catchup programming online.

TV budget to be slashed by £12m but BBC says it will use savings from dropping The Voice to fund homegrown alternatives Comedy, entertainment and factual programming at the BBC will be hit by a £12m spending cut , but the corporation said it would use money saved from dropping The Voice to making homegrown Saturday night shows.This can generate a more mass audience as the money is being invested in more home grown shows that would appeal the audience to have them coming back every week.BBC has disappointed some people as they pay their TV licence which goes to the BBC however they are not appealing to anyone making anyone want to watch their programmes especially the younger generation NDM has taken over.

Rise in UK web users blocking ads, research finds

More than 1.3m people have adopted technology that blocks online ads since June, with young people more likely to turn off intrusive pop-ups and videos

Ad blocking Ad blocking is on the rise in the UK, with 18% web users saying they use the software, up from 15% just five months ago.The increase, captured in research by the increase by the Internet advertising bureau, is equivalent to more than 1.3 million people adopting the technology since June.

This is a good thing as ads and pops are increasing and it has become very frustrating and irritating.Young people like to listen to or download songs and movies online and it gets really annoying when ads just keep popping up.The videos that they  are advertising are products or services we are not interested in.1.3 million people have adopted the technology since June.Also I believe that the  software will increase of the next year and the year after that.

Sun website traffic recovers as Mirror slips back

News UK site boosted by 16% rise to 1.29 million daily unique browsers in October, as rival’s national titles fall by 4.9% to 3.7 millions.The Sun website bounced back in October, adding more than 180,000 daily unique browsers to take its total to 1.29 million.

This represented an increase of more than 16% after a 14% fall in September, according to the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The Sun remains one of the smaller national newspaper websites after two years of charging for online access. They realised that they need to cut the paywall and understand that they will be more successful if they have free content and have advertise for a source of revenue.

Example of To what extent answer

Developments in new/digital media mean that audience can now have access to a greater variety of views and values.To what extent are audiences empowered by the developments?

The development has empowered the audience as the media content can now be taken on board or just left alone.A plurist view would say As new and digital media has allowed the audience on social networking to see media stories on their time line on twitter for example.Then the audience can challenge and produce what they believe of the media text and say what they think or believe or they can just leave it.For example the police brutality situation in America where the police have killed innocent people have died because they have been shot and so the audience read or watch the news and they have views that are unpopular with the audience.A good quote for this is "the internet is a empowering tool...an exciting and revolutionary prospect".This shows the freedom of the audience as they don't have to listen to anything they heard or seen as they just can take it or leave.So the audience can state their opinion on a news segment and tell others not to listen to them.Then that starts getting re tweet and start to trend online.Now the audience have power as everyone is against the media content on the particular situation because of what they said.

However I disagree as over the years, many powerful people in the media control what the institutions distribute.So for example the ever prime minister has had the backing of powerful media moguls such Rupert Murdoch.A good quote for this is "web pages and blogs are like a million monkeys typing nonsense" this quote means the audience have the least power on the web as its just a million monkeys typing nonsense.Nonsense meaning comments or tweets about nothing that really would take an interests too.As the ultimate control is increasingly concentrated in wealthy corporations/ media conglomerates.The media powerful people write articles and columns and many other media outlets to say their expert opinion on a situation but really and truly their opinion is not only taken into consideration its some truth and facts to some.Their control on the righting determines what people think and do so if the media outlet say something is wrong or something is right this is what the audience take in as they don't have enough power to take them on and change others opinions like the powerful people do.

NDM News values

Immediacy - Has it happened recently?

The growth of new and digital technology has affected the immediacy of the new content which is available. For instance, social networking sites end up having information quicker compared to actual news paper. This has affected the immediacy of the news for print news. News such as attacks in a city or even a celebrities death will generate a large 'buzz' around social networking sites e.g. Twitter. therefore; the next day after the event has taken place it doesn't have the same affect as anticipated this potential means that print news would need to alter the way they present the story.

Familiarity - Is it culturally close to us in Britain?

The growth of new and digital technology has impacted the familiarity of the news. We the audience tend to consume more news regarding other parts of the world for instance, current affairs in countries that are 'elite' or even our own country that we're living in. As social media platforms have opened up a vast amount of news sources it enables users to consume more news compared to, 1980's and previous years. This has allowed users to widen their knowledge regarding current affairs around the world.

Amplitude - Is it a big event that has a large amount of people involved?

The growth of new and digital media has impacted the amplitude of news values. The internet in particular has played a specific part within the amplitude of the news regarding the internet. Big events such as the death of Bin Laden didn't involve a large amount of people however; involved one individual that affected a vast amount of people within the world.

Frequency - Did the event happen fairly quick?

As new and digital media has rapidly increase over the years the frequency of an event that has taken place has became more and more quick to know about. Social media becomes flooded with tweets from a vast amount of people then within hours or minutes the actual event is confirmed as true.

Unambiguity - Is it clear and definite?

New and digital media has made news to be unclear and not definite at times. Due to the fact that the internet has given birth to many hoax's regarding vast amount of news it means that at times the news that we are provided with could possibly be out of context and wrong. However, if the news is from a trusted site it will be clear and definite.

Predictability - Did we expect it to happen?

Depending on the situations of the news at times news can be unpredictable. Certain news stories such as the death of Robin Willams and Micheal Jackson was a new story that wasn't expected. Celebrity deaths are the most unpredictable news stories. However, stories that surround hacking or any government legislation are stories that are predictable.

Surprise - Is it a rare or unexpected event?

New and digital media has allowed news stories to be rare and unexpected. We tend be accustom to negative news regarding war or anything with politicians having some sort of money scam. At times the news can have unexpected events such as natural disasters.

Continuity - has this story already been define as news?

New and digital media has opened up a vast amount new stories. Stories that are online are predominantly not regarded as genuine unless they are from a trusted source such as the BBC. The BBC is one news source that doesn't provide a bias view towards the story that is in the news.

Elite nations and people - Which country has the event happened in? Does the story concern well-known people?

New and digital media has allowed people to value elite nations compared to nations that are not elite. Many people compared the events of 9/11 to people in countries that are suffering from a rule of extremist and those who are starving in lower class country's.

Negativity - Is it bad news?

Predominantly the news is surrounded by negativity however, the news can flip and those who commit crimes which affect a vast amount of people are shown in a positive way when executed or put down by the government. Normally there is a vast amount of negativity in the news.

Balance - The story may be selected to balance other news, such as a human survival story to balance a number of stories concerning death.

New and digital media has set news stories to not be as true as originally thought. Therefore, there isn't a sense of balance through the set news story. Many news stories that are online have a unsettle agreement the point is clear however, they minor cover both sides. However, news sources that are trusted such as the BBC offer both sides to the story.
