Good question. There's a strong flavour of Londoncentrism in the BBC's
UK news offering (the World Service makes a refreshing change) and the
"Scottish Six" debate still hasn't got to the bottom of what we want
from a Scottish news service. Perhaps Gaelic news could lead the
way ... how about an environmental focus, for example? Or news from
our nearest neighbours -- Norway, Iceland, Ireland -- does the world
have to be seen through a prism that puts things in order of
importance thus -- London, Home (whose home?) Counties, Western
Europe, America, Rest of World, with Scotland somewhere near the
bottom of the list? If Gaelic news can break free from this mindset,
who knows ... where Gaelic leads might not Scottish news in English
follow?
