Chapters include: - a brief history of broadcasting; - an overview of recent commercial challenges in the news industry and the impact on television news; - current trends in the running of local radio stations, with particular focus on the rise of 'hubbing'; - the ethics of broadcast journalism; - the significance of international broadcasters including the BBC, CNN and Al-Jazeera.
