As you will see, the corresponding articles will have to do with the media and the political world. There is no doubt that the two go hand in hand. While there are many accredited writers that do address this topic, I personally, was spurred on by the former Prime Minster of The United Kingdom, Mr Tony Blair's speech one week before leaving office. In his speech, he addressed the media about their harshness, its toll on his personal life and its overall effect on the political world, amongst others. To view his full speech, please click here.
In his speech, Blair identified the media concentrating more on the 'impact' of story rather than the actual news. He stated, by having 'impact' a competitive edge exists. the accuracy of a story is regarded as secondary. Nick Robinson, the political editor of BBC News stated that he is glad that Blair started an important debate that is affecting this age. For Nick Robinson's full thoughts on this matter, click here.
