and to the United States.
P: That sounds very interesting. At
the moment Im gathering material on the impact of the mass
media. You must really have a
good insight into this subject

Opinions about the Impact of Mass Media

J: Well, yes. I find, if you read the


newspapers and weeklies in
different countries, it influences
your point of view. The same is
true of radio and television.

P: Yes, but what exactly do you


mean?
J: If you compare the different
styles of reporting, youll soon
find that there is more than one
side to a coin.

Opinions about the Impact of Mass Media

P: When I read a British newspaper reporting on domestic affairs in Germany, Im often surprised. I mean the events are
the same, but the interpretation
and the viewpoints are quite
different from the German papers.
J: Well, thats because the reporters are writing for a different
audience with different experience and background. Its
comparable to the variety one
finds in our domestic newspapers as well.

Opinions about the Impact of Mass Media

P: I know what you mean. If you


compare conservative and liberal papers, both are reporting
on the same events, but they
highlight different points.

J: Thats what I mean. And my


experience in America showed
me that its particularly true of
American journalism. And
another thing: they largely depend on advertising, so they try
to appeal to a wide audience.

companies are inevitable. Just
think of the advances in technology. They can no longer be

rather on a European and international scale. And then there
are the possibilities of satellite
broadcasting. From my point of

B: In the back of our minds we


think of the American system.
That doesnt particularly appeal
to us. They always try to attract
a large audience. Thats exactly
what the sponsors of advertising and commercials want.
A: And the result is, of course,
that you have a lot of very
popular but meaningless entertainment. Think of the weekly
series. We buy a lot of them
and they are very popular in
Europe, too.

B: Did you find independent television to be a serious competition?
A: Well, yes, we did ... in two aspects. Although the BBC is
known for its independence of
state control, we had some
scandals. Independent television capitalized on that. And
second, we found that the quality of the productions of independent television have become serious competition.

B: Those are two important aspects.

of this report?
C: Unfortunately, the statistics
show that crime has assumed
alarming proportions, but the
report also points out some
promising aspects.
R: What exactly do you mean?
C: The point is that although the

Crime and Violence

R: Could you be more specific?


C: Yes, for instance, these figures
show an increase in the
number of house burglaries,
car thefts and bank robberies.
R: But surely, thats not very encouraging.
C: No, it isnt, thats true, but
these are crimes which do not
involve the use of force or violence. They are violations
against private property.
R: Oh, I see. The figures show a
decrease in crimes involving
bodily harm.
C: Yes, exactly. If you have a
close look at the figures, youll
find a decline in burglary with
assault and murder.

R: How did you come to this decision?


C: We think that the most effective
way to fight crime is to prevent
crime. We want to continue our
policy of the neighbourhood
policeman who knows his community well. If there is anything
wrong, hell be the first to notice.

Crime and Violence

R: Finally lets talk about another


point. London gets a lot of tourists, and Im sure some are
watching this programme right
now. A complaint one often
hears is that of pickpockets.
C: Well, London is a big city. And
like any other large tourist centre it attracts a lot of visitors
and unfortunately pickpockets
as well. We try to control the
situation by stationing a lot of
policemen at the tourist sites.

R: Im afraid our time is up. Thank


you very much, Chief constable, for taking the time for this
interview.

P: Yes, during my last holiday
I travelled across England with
some friends. And now Im just
going back over some of the
places we saw. For my diary.
J: For your diary?
P: Yes, Im getting some of the
place names right.
J: I wish I could have had the
chance to come along.
P: But youve seen quite a bit of
England too, havent you?
J: Well, yes I have. Travelling
across this country is something I just cant get enough of.

of these counties.
J: Then tell me, Pam, what were
your impressions?
P: Well, at the start of our trip, in
Cornwall, we realized that a
short tour wouldnt do justice to
these counties. We would only
get a slight impression of each
county.
J: And thats why you kept a diary?
P: Yes, at least that way I would
be able to go over the places
later on.

stories. I always get the feeling
that Dartmoor is a place to
hurry through before darkness
comes.

Country were often suspicious

P: Thats very nice of you. Does
she live alone?
J: No, Im afraid she had to give
up her flat two years ago. She
couldnt manage her household any more. And my parents
live too far away to help her
much. So, she moved into an

told me that the National Health
Service took care of the medical costs. And with the retirement funds she gets along

wants to show that the elderly
are not useless or helpless.

J: I should say so. But I really approve of what she is doing. The
work of the Grey Panthers is
important, because in the societies of Western Europe the
proportion of senior citizens in
comparison with the general
population is increasing.

Finding a New Home

J: Its really difficult to find a new


home.
M: What do you mean?
J: Well, there are a lot of details
and aspects to consider. My
wife and I have been looking at
different flats every evening for
weeks. And in all that time we
never saw one single flat that
suited our needs well enough.

M: What kind of place are you


looking for?

Finding a New Home

J: Well, no. We saw many homes


that were large enough, but
then there were other things to
be taken into account.
M: Such as?
J: Well, first I would like it close to
my office, so I neednt use my
car all the time. Then there
should also be a shopping centre nearby for my wife. And
when junior gets a little older
we want to have a good school
in the neighbourhood. And finally, we want to be close to
the city centre, so we can still
go out to the cinema or to a
restaurant, or just go
windowshopping.

Finding a New Home

M: Hmm, I see. But thats asking


for quite a lot.
J: Oh, Im not finished yet, Mike.
To top it off, it must be within
our budget.
M: Well, how successful were you
in finding this ideal home?
J: Frankly, we did see some flats
that met all these requirements,
believe it or not. But we havent
taken the landlords into account.

Finding a New Home

M: The landlords?
J: Yes, Mike the landlords. Youd
be surprised by all their
demands, before theyll let you
have the flat. Some of them
dont allow children. Others
dont provide a playground for
children.
M: Oh, I know what you mean. You
should take a look at my lease.
The dos and the donts. They
dont let you do anything, but
you have to keep everything in
perfect order.
J: Well, I must be off. My wife and
I have to look at another flat
this evening.
M: Well, good luck.
J: Thanks, Mike.
