WHILE social media and the tabloids will have a field day over Piers Morgan s infantile behaviour on last Tuesday s edition of Good Morning Britain ( Piers Morgan quits Good Morning Britain after 41,000 complaints over remarks , The Herald, March 10), the affair raises serious questions over the future of news broadcasting in this country. These questions are highlighted also with the proposed launch of two new television news channels. Three obvious areas of concern centre around who owns these channels and how they are to be funded and regulated.
