The BBC is one of the most well-known news network in the world. They are based in the UK, but they have correspondents in almost

every country in the world. On their international news network, BBC World, they give coverage to events all over the world. The

journalists are very professional-looking and they read the news clearly and with a very serious attitude. Last year, their business

journalist John Johnson won the award for Best International Business Reporting.

However, there are also many, less serious, media outlets in the UK. Every day, many people read tabloids , which contain stories about the

personal lives of celebrities and politicians . Many people dislike these tabloids, because they say that the journalists write

stories that are not true and manipulate stories to try to make them more interesting. Because of this, many people protested outside the offices of

one of the country’s biggest tabloids, saying, “This is not news. It is sensationalism !” /
