The BBC is very good; and also, because of our <ahem> historic links with much of Africa, we tend to get a fair amount of news. The Independent newspaper, for example, is reasonable - independent.co.uk (I read this off-line); as is The Guardian guardian.co.uk. Both are centrist broadsheets, the latter more to the left.
[The Telegraph and The Times are owned by super-rich, tax-evading media magnates, Black and Murdoch respectively, and no longer to be trusted to be unbiassed or objective.]
It generally goes in fashions, however: some more 'newsworthy' happening - famine, a new war, flood, etc - will briefly reawaken general media interest, and then apart from those few outlets it all goes quiet... |
