The future of current news could be different than you think. Streaming, online video streaming, will likely reshape the way we cover our nation’s news. Online video will give partisan news outlets new audiences and encourage new overtly political news operations to enter the fray.
A new study found that Americans are more likely to watch streaming news than they are to watch traditional cable TV. Moreover, the study showed that viewers spent a lot more time watching a streamed program than they did watching a conventional broadcast.
News networks have high hopes for streaming. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations. But they also have to avoid overhyping their offerings. This will be crucial as they try to retain viewers.
One of the most important changes to come from online video streaming is that there will be no need to negotiate costly deals with cable companies. Rather, the audience will be able to access the content they want whenever they want it.
During the early years of streaming, CNN was criticized for lacking viewers. But as the adoption rate increased, its critics missed the opportunity to take advantage of pent-up demand for alternatives.
Streaming, however, has proven itself to be an effective means of reaching the masses. In addition to its ubiquity, it is an economical way to build a news library.
Major streaming networks, such as CNN and Fox, have already repurposed cable programming and offer reruns. These streaming news services also include documentaries and offer news analysis.
