Globalisation and news

1) I would strongly believe that our news is influenced by American cultural imperialism, reason being is that the first news institution to do 24 hours news was CNN which is located in America. This led to many other news institutions from other countries to start having 24 hours of news, implying that they was influenced to this from the Americans. Adding on from this point, many news institutions like Sky news have the exact layout as CNN which clearly shows that they even copy the layout that Americans produced showing how influenced many countries are to america.  
2) The increased globalisation of news has improved the audience experience, reason being is that audiences have a lot more features such as being able to watch certain news live allowing them to be right up to date and experience the news live. However, this has led to less news being local and around the globe instead, meaning many audiences don't even get any news about their local community which could be worrying for some.
3) Globalisation has benefited and damaged major news institutions, reason being is that many news institutions don't even have to film in certain countries due to the rise of citizen journalism allowing audiences to record events and send them to the news which is very beneficial as this gives news institutions more videos to produce more stories.
