Breaking the news

The Breaking the News exhibition is now open at the British Library (physical location next to St Pancras Station in London) until 21 August 2022. It is a priced exhibition (unless you are a BL member, which costs £80 a year - that's different from being a Reader who can use the Library) They say "This exhibition prompts big questions about the news we consume: How do your opinions and beliefs influence the news you choose? When does news become propaganda? Why do we devour crime stories and sensationalism? Who decides which stories to suppress and which to spotlight?" There's examples and a fuller description (plus links to the accompanying events programme and ticket page) at https://blogs.bl.uk/thenewsroom/2022/04/breaking-the-news.html Below is the promotional video.
