Reductions in circulation and ad revenue have devastated newspapers as freely available (but still paid for by someone) news has taken their audience.

The American experience with the sudden rise of social media and the fallout from that populism, polarisation, conspiracy theories and a coup attempt, should be foremost in our minds.Ĭhanges abound even as old problems persist: So big, fast changes to this market are worth understanding. The ethics of society are hashed out in the media, everything from gay marriage to brexit to the hacking of abducted children’s phones is debated in this space. The media is the primary forum for political debate deciding who is in government and what their priorities are. The stakes of who controls the narrative of modern Britain are high. The government funded BBC cannot be seen to be influencing outside the political mainstream, the Sun cannot drift too far from the interests of the readership (or ownership), the Guardian is unable to pull it’s membership too fast in one direction or another and the Evening Standard just wants what’s best for everyone.

These different sources of funding lead to different biases. By the government, by sales and subscriptions, by ad revenue and by magnanimous billionaires who have our best interests at heart. The big players delivering news, analysis and satire in Britain are funded in four main ways.

Government pressure and even censorship, the influence of the super wealthy, the needs of the ad market and the populist requirement to sell newspapers have always meant that journalists, satirists and writers have never been free of bias or even scrupulously accurate.

For centuries it has been a lively conversation, full of talented well informed people churned by powerful forces. The British media landscape (Fleet Street et al.) has never been great. This new push for “balance” is only one of many changes to the British media landscape altering how we view the world.

Governments have always had influence at the BBC and the perpetual threat to the licence fee is an easy lever to pull whenever Auntie strays too far off the acceptable path. The cancellation has come to be emblematic of the unmistakable pressure the government is putting on the BBC to combat the supposed left wing bias as scented by backbench Tory MPs since time immemorial. Rachel Parris and Nish Kumar’s viral explainer of workplace sexual etiquette still is one of the clearest skewerings of the culture war arising from #metoo and is hilarious. It was uncompromising satire from a millennial perspective and best of all it was funny. It’s voice was notably different from the rest of British satire, clearly taking notes from American influences and then improving on their techniques.
