There is a healthy diversity of news formats in the UK media. The quality, midmarket and popular press present the news in a range of vernacular, thereby engaging a broad public, though mostly the already politically interested, in political and social issues (see Norris 2003). That diverse news formats are at least accessible cannot be in question. Most UK households have access to a choice of rolling 24 news channels, foreign news channels (most UK homes are now multi-channel homes) and online-outlets. All leading UK broadcasters and newspapers provide online news. There is a diverse range of news and current affairs content.
