Abstract

Despite the criticism of the news media by politicians and the media itself, the broadcast news media is not going anywhere any time soon. American and British broadcast news provide stark contrast, and in an ever-shrinking world, millennials have broad outlooks on the media climate today. The analysis of the BBC compared to American outlets including NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN illustrates how college students understand the current state of the media and recognize bias in their news sources.
