with Americans seemingly developing a taste for news
with a Fleet Street twist,
British papers are stepping up their efforts to
court American readers and
advertisers, expanding their coverage of American
politics and culture. "
The Guardian for example now has over 2.5m hits from US addresses in a month and is planning a GuardianUSA.com page,and BBC news gets more than 9m unique users every month.
The cynical view of this may be that the American audience is looking for a differing perspective on events not necessarily given by its own media.For example coverage of Middle Eastern affairs but I would like to think that Uk journalists are just better writers.
