News broadcasting in the context of Standard dialect

A standard language (or standard variety, standard dialect, standardized dialect or simply standard) is any language variety that has undergone substantial codification in its grammar, lexicon, writing system, or other features and that stands out among related varieties in a community as the one with the highest status or prestige. Often, it is the prestige language variety of a whole country.

In linguistics, the process of a variety becoming organized into a standard, for instance by being widely expounded in grammar books or other reference works, and also the process of making people's language usage conform to that standard, is called standardization. Typically, the varieties that undergo standardization are those associated with centres of commerce and government, used frequently by educated people and in news broadcasting, and taught widely in schools and to non-native learners of the language. Within a language community, standardization usually begins with a particular variety being selected (often towards a goal of further linguistic uniformity), accepted by influential people, socially and culturally spread, established in opposition to competitor varieties, maintained, increasingly used in diverse contexts, and assigned a high social status as a result of the variety being linked to the most successful people. As a sociological effect of these processes, most users of a standard dialect—and many users of other dialects of the same language—come to believe that the standard is inherently superior to, or consider it the linguistic baseline against which to judge, the other dialects. However, such beliefs are firmly rooted in social perceptions rather than any objective evaluation. Any varieties that do not carry high social status in a community (and thus may be defined in opposition to standard dialects) are called nonstandard or vernacular dialects.

News broadcasting in the context of News agency

A news agency is an organization that gathers news reports and sells them to subscribing news organizations, such as newspapers, magazines and radio and television broadcasters. A news agency may also be referred to as a wire service, newswire, or news service.

Although there are many news agencies around the world, three global news agencies, Agence France-Presse (AFP), the Associated Press (AP), and Reuters have offices in most countries of the world, cover all areas of media, and provide the majority of international news printed by the world's newspapers. All three began with and continue to operate on a basic philosophy of providing a single objective news feed to all subscribers. Jonathan Fenby explains the philosophy:

News broadcasting in the context of Dziennik Telewizyjny

Dziennik Telewizyjny (Polish pronunciation: [ˈd͡ʑɛn.ɲik tɛ.lɛ.viˈzɘj.nɘ], DT; lit.'Television Journal'), commonly simplified to Dziennik (lit.'Journal'), is a Polish daily television news program that was produced and broadcast by Telewizja Polska (TP; now abbreviated as TVP) between 1958 and 1989, during the time Poland was under a communist government. It was Poland's second regularly televised newscast by the Polish United Workers' Party during the Cold War. The final telecast aired on 17 November 1989 and the program was replaced by Wiadomości on the following day, 18 November 1989.

Dziennik succeeded a previously run short-term news show on 1 January 1958. Every 30-minute episode was transmitted on the first channel, TP1 (now TVP1), at 08:00 p.m CET (1958–1965) and subsequently at 07:30 p.m CET from 1965 until the fall of communism in 1989. The broadcast greatly resembled other communist news programs of the period, especially East German Aktuelle Kamera. The show had correspondents who were permanently based in several world cities such as New York, London, Moscow, Paris, and Rome.
