Assignment 2

The two articles discuss the idea of international news channels. The first article about the French World TV Channel talks about the incentives behind launching this channel. According to the article, making the French point of view about global issues is the main idea behind having this channel. I think that this channel is going to communicate the ideas and perspectives of French government, politicians and researchers about worldwide issues. Concerning the second article, I think that it talks about the roles and goals of international news channels. In this article there is an emphasis on two international news channels which are Al Jazeera and BBC World. I think that they use those two channels because they are the most significant ones. About their goals, I think that they want to achieve the highest number of audience. Moreover, profit is not the main motive behind global news broadcasting. I think that those two channels are the best example for France 24 news channel to become an international news channel that reaches a large number of people.
