After having worked on this topic you will be able to give a rough account of print media in the UK, outlining the major quality papers and at least two broad sheets and point out their mission.
At the example(s) of at least one or two very differing papers you can relate and exemplify how mission, money and message go together: He who pays the piper calls the tune.
You will be able to take on the role of a senior member of staff identifing strongly with the mission of "your" paper or magazine and keep your stick-to-itiveness at a ficticious editorial meeting, which is the main task of the WebQuest Defending Democratic Rights: Freedom of Speech in the aftermath of attacks on Charlie Hebdo.
