Leaders and cities around the globe marked the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp of World War II.
Streaming news has become a hot topic among media industry insiders. The technology has caught on because it offers an effective way to bring timely information to the masses. This is especially true for news and entertainment.
Major networks are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in their streaming operations. In fact, the news industry has a number of streaming offerings – including NBC News Now, which produces ten hours of programming each day, a total of about 31 million hours a month. Its Brief section allows users to stay up to date with the latest news, while its Bottom Tab Bar enables discovery.
Streaming may be the new television. However, it’s not a replacement for broadcast. Aside from its convenience, a major reason for its success is its ability to archive content.
Despite the emergence of the aforementioned streaming services, major news networks have still not given up on broadcast. For example, the CBS network has plans to beam 45,000 hours of local news in 2022. While this is more than the amount of local news currently being delivered on cable, it’s less than the local CBS affiliates already cover.
Streaming has also proven to be a boon for niche audiences. One example is SciTechDaily, which covers space and astronomy news. Another is PR Newswire, which offers a multichannel content distribution network. These sites offer targeted news alerts and journalist tools for free.
Streaming has also shown itself to be a cost-effective way to build news libraries. Because viewers can choose when they want to see it, it can be cheaper to archive and distribute content. Ultimately, streaming will serve as a complement to traditional television, providing a platform for the audience to create their own customized experience.
