The above article in The Guardian has transcript of Jeremy Paxman's interview with Dizzy Rascal after Obama won the American Presidential Election. Lots of issues to explore here - representation of ethnicity, audience appeal, dumbing down, news and institutional values. . Read the article and reference the points and 'experts' in your exam responses. You can also look at interview on Youtube
