1) To what extent do you agree with Alain de Botton's views on the News?
I believe that what he says is logical as people
are now finding news that isn't important to be more interesting which is being
published into newspapers and other stories which are important are being
pushed away.
2) How can you link Marxism and Hegemony to de Botton's criticisms of
the News?
There are many way in which you can link to Marxism and Hegemony. One way is through the abuse of power to promote a certain ideology for the consumers of the news. This is the case the powerful are in control.

3) How could you use Pluralism and new technology to challenge de Botton's
views on the News?
One way in which you can challenge de Button’s views is by looking at through a pluralists view. A pluralist would say that the news that audiences receive will most likely not change this is the case they have a specific target audience that they reach out to but with the use of new technology, it is now easier to explore the other side to the story because we now have access to more platforms which gives us a better understanding of everything.
4) Choose two news stories from the last six months - one that supports de Botton's views and one that challenges his belief that the News is used for social control.
