The British media is concentrated in London. This creates in some people's view, a "London bias" in the output of the media. The BBC, which remains Britain's most internationally respected and indeed envied news and media organisation, BBC, has its main headquarters in London, though it also has centres in many other cities in the UK, from where much regional broadcasting emanates. The other British TV broadcasting companies, including ITV and BSkyB, are also London based.
The English newspaper market is dominated by national newspapers, and all of them are edited in London. Until the 1970s, newspaper offices were concentrated in Fleet Street, but the 1980s saw most move out to larger premises with automated printing works in Docklands. The move was resisted strongly by the printing trade unions, and strike action at the News International printing press in Wapping in 1986 saw occasional violent skirmishes. The last major news agency in Fleet Street, Reuters, moved to Canary Wharf in 2003, but Fleet Street is still commonly used as a collective term for the national press.
London is at the centre of British film and television production industries, with major studio facilities on the western fringes of the conurbation and a large post production industry centred in Soho. London is one of the two leading centres of English language publishing alongside New York. Globally important media companies based in London range from publishing group Pearson, to the information agency Reuters, to the world's number two advertising business WPP Group. Important local media outlets in the city include the Evening Standard newspaper, BBC London radio, and several independent radio stations, including Capital FM.
