How is the Information presented and why?
The Daily Mail, seem to have copied the exact same story as the BBC and even quoted it..
"According to the BBC, a code number will cost 92p - the standard rate for a letter - plus the cost of the text message."
The BBC present the information, in detail it's not biased at all due to the simplicity of the story.
The Daily Mail could have presented the story as biased since it has taken the information from the BBC, and it is not 1st hand information.
'Arctic Startup' gives less information about the facts, but more about the results of the story.
Is the dominance of a few Global news organizations a good thing or a bad thing?
The BBC and The Daily Mail are the Global news organizations here. Arctic Startup is a Finnish news broadcasting website. It is less well known, and has less influence. However, the BBC has so much influence that it has even influenced another global organization; The Daily Mail.
However, if we only had lesser-known news broadcasters, the quality of the news would be less scrutinized, as there are more news broadcasters to choose from. Having a few big broadcasters means more specified scrutiny, meaning better quality and more reliable news after time.
