Channel 4 news is relatively good. Channel 4 and ITN do make a profit but they're not owned by tycoons and their shares aren't publically traded. So they don't operate by the same persuit for power as some of the media does. Making a profit isn't their main priority, rather they operate according to their constitution. People don't join those organisations (C4 or ITN) to get rich (although they do expect a decent salary).

To an even greater degree, the BBC is not there to make a profit.

Having said that, these organisations are naturally sceptical of the antiglobalisation movement because it is a relatively new movement and because it is natural for people to be sceptical about radical ideas. Also, they probably do come under certain pressures from the outside, such as the people who provide their money - the government in the case of the BBC and the advertisers in the case of ITN

Sorry, that was meant to say persuit for profit, not persuit for power.

Dont forget that ITN was once a non profit news company. They changed coz they wanted to make money out of reporting peoples lives. That has to affect the way they cover stories. Also they own CTN which make corporate videos for Shell and others, using the same ITN news crews.
