Why English will be chosen

Now that we experience a world which becomes more and more globalized, there is not much time until we all speak the same language. The question is just which language should be spoken?


There is no doubt; an English newspaper can be read by far more people than a Norwegian. And this is why most international media is using English as the main language. The more people who can understand their words, both written and spoken, the more people they reach with their message. For a long time English has been used as a lingua franca, but now it is shown that more people all over the world use English as their second language, and also use this in everyday situations.
It is a big difference between how news are covered from country to country. And it is obvious that a happening covered by an English speaking media will reach other countries faster than something covered by a local newspaper.  And because the medias job is to give news to the people, as fast as possible, and to as many as possible, English speaking media will be dominant in contrast to other languages, example Norwegian, Swedish, German etc.
