Qualitative research: Responses to News Coverage

Responses to News Coverage: - 

Responses to news coverage is a way of people expressing their opinion to the news publishers of news papers or producers of news shows about either the news paper in general or specific news articles as well as news shows in general or or particular news stories. The responses can either just be an expressive opinion on the matter or a professional who disagrees due to the field of work they are in, but not all responses are negative as they could just be politically correcting something about the article or story in a helpful ways as the response could be from a fan of the news show or paper. Responses to news coverage are important as they can show that not all news coverage is completely true and that not all shocking news discoveries may be complete fact.

One major response to a news coverage is on a news story in the daily mail news paper published in 2011 about the costs of medication for terminal cancer patients as the medication is too expensive for the amount that is does for the patients, but a Pharmaceutical company named the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) disagreed with the news story completely so they gave a professional response underlining the statements that were false and giving valid arguments regarding what was stated.
