A lot of the companies own more than one newspaper which clearly shows that thy have more power because if they are making it look like more than one newspaper are thinking this then they have more chance of presiding people to think in way that the think.

The Leicester Mercury is a British regional newspaper for the city of Leicester and the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. The paper began in the 19th century as the Leicester Daily Mercury and later changed to the present title 

Within the last couple of years the news has developed a lot and the use of social media, mainly being Facebook, has blown up massively! The latest sites would be twitter and so on. What they are doing is creating pages on these websites so it is easier to see what people think of it and they can easily create poles and other helpful reviews so they can really interact with the people they are bringing the information to.

Shriky's theory is used for people who don't want to see all the news so they can follow certain pages so that they only see what they want to see this is now a race for who can get the most followers so the most people can see their page.

Multiple newspapers are owned for example The Observer and The guardian are both owned by Scott Trust limited. Who are Centre left which is obvious because they are owned by the same company this means the same sorts of people are working on the articles which is good because most people don't realise that they are owned by the same company which means that they will think more than one newspaper thinks the same thing which influences them to think that way.
