The effects of this are complex. It can be said that the broadcast
bulletins impose certain priorities, and that among these are
characteristic definitions of high politics, with a centralizing
emphasis on the acts and words of political leaders. Yet, though
this is in general true, the national television news bulletins
provide more public news than all but a very few newspapers.
More-over, the provide this to a very wide public, in ways that would
not happen if we had only a “minority” and “popular” press.
In Britain until the Second World War, the broadcast announcer was an
anonymous authoritative (ruling-class) voice. Personal identification
was introduced only as a security measure under the threat of invasion
and capture of the stations. In television personal identification has
become more marked, though in BBC bulletins it is still only lightly
emphasized, while in ITN bulletins the formula is “the news with…”
and then names of the readers. This is also a common formula in
American newscasts, but there is additionally, as in most American
television, immediate self-introduction.
