Abstract
The news outlet I have chosen to analyze is the internet version of “The Daily Mail “, a newspaper based in the United Kingdom, very famous especially in England. It includes the daily version of this newspaper as well as “The Mail on Sunday”, its week-end's edition. Gate keeping can be defined as the “process through which news items pass on their way from discovery to transmission”. Thus, newspapers' producers are the gatekeepers, which mean they enable the public to be aware of the events happening worldwide. When referring to Siebert's “Four Theories of the press”, England can be defined as a mix between the liberal model – like the United States – and the Social responsibility model – like in Europe. Thus, it means that Government has no control over the Press and that news can be published without any censorship, but it the same time journalists have an obligation of informativeness, truth, accuracy, objectivity and balance towards the public.
