Warmingup The teacher may either use the warmingup activities described earlier or invent the ones of his/her own. 1. Reading Prereading If possible, the teacher should either bring some British newspapers and magazines to class to show the students or print out some Internet pages of the most popular newspapers or, if a computer lab with the Internet connection is available, have the students go to their websites and have a brief discussion of the media contents based on the titles, pictures or rubrics. The students should come to the conclusion if the paper is a quality or a tabloid one and ground their opinions. Great Britain is really a newspaper reading nation. More national and regional daily newspapers are sold in Britain than in most other developed countries. National newspapers have a total circulation of 14. 2 million on weekdays and 16. 2 mln on Sundays. There are about 130 daily and Sunday newspapers, over 2,000 weekly newspapers and some 7,000 periodical publications. There are also more than 750 free distribution newspapers, mostly weekly and financed by advertising, and some 60 newspapers and magazines produced by members of the ethnic minorities. The press is free to comment on matters of public interest, subject to law (including that of libel). There is no state control or censorship of the press, which caters for a variety of political views, interests and levels of education. Newspapers are almost always financially independent of any political party. None of the main political parties own or publish daily newspapers. There is a Press Complaints Commission which deals with complaints by members of the public and provides a more effective press selfregulation and prevention intrusion into privacy. All the national newspapers use computer technology, and its use in the provincial press is increasing. Twelve national morning daily papers (5 "qualities” and 7 "populars”) are available in most parts of Britain. British Broadcasting has traditionally been based on the principle that it is a accountable to the people through Parliament. It also embraces the principle of competition and choice. Three public bodies are responsible for television and radio services in Britain: a) the BBC — the British Broadcasting Corporation which broadcasts television and radio services; c) the Radio Authority which lisenses and regulates all nonBBC radio services. The Government is not responsible for programme content, nor for broadcasters’ daytoday conduct of business. The independence of broadcasters requires them to maintain certain standards: programmes must display a proper balance and wide range of subject matter, and impartiality in matters of controversy. They must not offend good taste. The BBC has two national TV channels and five radio services. It also broadcasts in 37 different languages of the world and its audience is about 120 mln people.
