Abstract

The arrival of private TV channels and the Internet has brought about changes within news broadcasting in Spain . Whereas use of language was previously deemed essential to convey the message to the public, emphasis is now placed on the image the TV viewer receives. New technology and a desire to learn about the world around us has made these programmes a regular guaranteed feature within TV audience ratings for the channel. This report questions whether TV news should educate as well as inform, or simply entertain the viewer.
