"News was not a spectator sport"
this means that people would share news with others as a way of socialising. Not all of it was true as none of it use to be supervised like it is now on the TV and News Reports
What developments 150 years ago made it possible for people to make a business in selling news?
The invention of the steam printing press made it possible for news papers to be made. This means that the people making them would earn money from people wanting to sell them off for themselves. People wanted to known news that was confirmed true instead of gossip that was probably just roomers.
We can now access news anywhere, from our own ideas and opinions even contribute ourselves, Stephens says this is "mostly a wonderful thing". Why? Do you agree?
I believe that it is a good thing that people are able to view news from every area of the globe. This means that people are able to hear about live news as its happening. This also widens peoples social range.
However people also twist news and directs it against people.

Newspaper Funding and Regulation
How does media ownership contribute to news bias?
- political opinion of owner
- business interests of owner
- commercial advertising files
Newspapers are not usually profitable, but are seen as a means of gaining political and social influence, so are often owned by rich individuals rather than conglomerates so these businesses tend to specialise in newspaper (and sometimes magazine) publishing rather than a range of media.
The Guardian and Observer are owned by a trust set up in the 1030s to protect the editorial independence of the Guardian Newspaper and to safeguard journalistic freedom and the newspapers liberal views.
