How the news is reported. - Jan Klimkowski - 10-02-2010
The piece was reasonably good at exposing the banality of TV news grammar, with its building blocks of open-ended piece-to-camera, GVs (aka General Views or filler shots), vox pops for "authenticity", strangely framed wides for graphics etc.
There's more to say on the grammar, but it's too banal for me to be bothered.
My favourite pastime whilst watching MSM News is to play ye olde parlour game known as....
SPOT THE SPOOK!
BBC News is stuffed full of them.
BBC journalists are not allowed to express opinions and are constitutionally & contractually obliged to be fair and balanced in their reports. However, the MI5 and MI6-owned BBC correspondents always editorialize.
Their "fair and balanced" reports are often a revealing insight into deep political agendas.
