    ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS MENTIONED BELOW AS WELL IN YOUR EXPLANATION AS TO THE INFLUENCE THAT TWO MAJOR DRIVING FORCES (Mainstream News Media AND the marketing objective of being profitable) HAVE ON THE NEWS DECISIONS.
    1) Can you tell us how? Give examples of how the dilemma can be seen in the news media.
    2)Discuss how the media try to come to terms with these two forces. Are they successful, partially successful, or unsuccessful in satisfying both goals?
    3) What happens if the media meet one goal but falls short of the other? Again, examples are important for illustrating your points
