It's considered unpatriotic to question the organs of the state.
There is something quite British about that attitude, but you can look at other countries and you'll see that newspaper proprietors and the media generally is very influential and wants to be at the seat of power.
The relationship between Fox News and
and and and donald trump is very interesting it's a bit of a love-hate relationship but fox news wants to be there you know getting the ear of the president and getting those exclusive interviews all the while because it serves their their their audience and again it's about commercial commercial imperatives and you know you find in
you know, in kind of other countries that don't have the same kind of democratic process.
It's that, you know, the media will be subservient and put over the, you know, the prevailing ideology of the rulers, you know, perhaps in less democratic countries.
Well, I think that, yes, eventually the printing tabloids will fade.
There will come a point when it's simply not economic to keep printing them.
Because printing is in itself a very, and distribution is in itself a very expensive process.
And that's not just the tabloids that applies to all newspapers.
The newspaper that I work for for many years, The Independent,
a few years ago went completely online they dropped the idea of a printed version and is very successful online today although it's by no means the same kind of
a newspaper and the same kind of approach.
In terms of the tabloids, yes, because traditionally people that buy tabloids are not always the most wealthy, shall we say.
The cost of buying tabloids becomes important, whereas it's much easier to access them online.
So one or more of the tabloids will go online, I think.
um, or, or perhaps shape themselves to maybe a once a week version.
So you get back to the idea of kind of weekend popular, uh, magazine, almost like magazines.
Um, uh, the, the, uh, does that make journalism more democratic?
No, I don't think so.
