BBC risks excluding viewers by prioritising online content
BBC3 move to online-only, fears over future of traditional broadcasting and corporation being too ‘overtly political’ among public’s concerns, study finds.
Older, poorer and rural viewers could all be excluded by the BBC’s plans for the future, according to warnings published by the BBC Trust.A consultation of more than 10,000 people revealed that many older licence-fee payers said they feared being forgotten and left behind by “the prioritisation of online content over traditional broadcasting” given in the BBC’s own proposals to create a “British, bold and creative” broadcaster.
The BBC are chasing after to receive more viewers especially the younger generation because they access everything through their phone and tablets which has made BBC's viewers decrease. However, the BBC should focus on the older generation as an audience so they are able to deliver quality news to them.

New York Times
The New York Times has named Jim Rutenberg as its new media columnist, filling the role left vacant after the sudden death of David Carr almost a year ago.
Rutenberg is currently the chief political correspondent for the newspaper’s Sunday magazine, having joined the NYT from the New York Observer as a media correspondent in 2000.
A joint memo to staff from executive editor Dean Bacquet and business editor Dean Murphy said the hunt for someone to take on the prestigious role had been “exhaustive” and taken in both internal and external candidates.
I think that the New York times audience will realise the difference in writing because of they would notice that the loss of David Carr who was a significant journalist for the New York times. The change in journalists may cause the audience to go to other competitors due to a difference that they may not like.
