Don't think it's just in the States

Deepikaglobal.com features an article entitled "Broadcast media needs to dwell on falling standards, sensationalism" on Sunday. By the looks of it, it seems like the media halfway around the globe is having the same issues the news media has in the United States - competition has led to lackluster reporting and newsworthiness. The words used in the article sum it up perfectly - "trivialisation and sensationalism" - it's better to get the news right the first time rather than concentrate only on being first, right?
