John Snow // Owen Jones Notes


Owen Jones

Owen Jones had a strong argument against the elite leaders where he suggested excellent ideas on how the media is used in order to exploit those at the bottom of society. A major point that he made was that took place due to the rise of student fees rising , the front pages were images of students created chaos however the fact that student university fess rose 3 times as much per year from £3000 to £9000. Benefit Street is another program used to exploit people at the bottom of society however a program such as “tax avoidance” was never created about people who are powerful and don’t pay tax.

John Snow


He stated that journalist are not as employed as they used to be they can still take part in being a jourbnalist as it is easy in today’s society to write anywhere. John Snow explained that the freelance journalists will be the future and will be used as and when needed by companies, however some people may still choose to branch out specialise. “New is now new” explained that news it now information that is up to date and which means that information is “new” and the most recent. The reason for this is because previously without tools such as the internet it meant that information such as video footage would have to have to be sent by plane or parcelled which could take a few days making the information out dated or reliable.
