Hegemony Dominant Ideology

Ideology is the system of ideas, values and beliefs which an individual, group or society holds to be true or important; these are shared by a culture / society, or groups in a society, about how individuals should function.

Hegemony, on the other hand, describes the general consensus of an organisation to be the most believed or referenced .  In terms of news hegemony, most people will tend to trust and believe the news of the BBC when comparing it to other sources because of their firm ideological commitments.
