The rise of the Internet has changed the way we receive news. Streaming services allow consumers to choose when and where they want to receive their news, reducing the time it takes to obtain their information. It also reduces the scarcity of media resources and allows them to be archived.
As a result, many newscasters are concerned that their audiences will diminish as more people turn to streaming for their news. For instance, a CBS-owned local station piped coverage of the Pittsburgh bridge collapse to a streamer, essentially letting him watch the news on his own terms.
The proliferation of mobile devices has also allowed for a new type of news gathering. Unlike radio, which is limited by the amount of time it can air, streaming news travels where it is most needed. Depending on the device, it can be delivered instantaneously.
News networks have realized that they have a competitive advantage in serving streaming audiences. Historically, broadcast news has been a lucrative business. However, the cable television industry one-upped broadcasters by offering live events.
Now, the boundaries of journalism are blurring. Commercial and non-profit news organizations have entered into partnerships to create new types of “pro-am” relationships.
Free news streamers have also entered the market, promoting cable-quality news. They hope to earn a share of the $3 billion profit the three major news outlets made in 2020.
News streaming services offer viewers a wide variety of programming, including documentaries, sports, and news analysis. Each service offers regular nightly news programs, and some of the top streaming companies will even provide reruns.
