Identify and briefly explain three ways in which the new media have changed the processes of selection and/or presentation of the news. (9)

-Democratisation: with the new media access to news broadcasting it has become open to all, for instance via the internet and mobile phones

-Loss of control of news agenda by powerful interests, through new media outlets, as through social networks, individuals and groups can put forward their own political agendas, for example during the Arab spring

-Citizen journalism; the portability and quality of new media allows anyone on the scene of news action to have an input into the broadcast media
