In the age of streaming media, how can news organizations survive? In the past few years, broadcast networks have struggled to maintain audiences. In fact, 76 percent of Americans now watch streaming video instead of traditional cable TV. Streaming is a great way for news organizations to keep their audience while cutting costs. The downside is that it is less convenient to watch and consume. Luckily, the news networks have made some changes to their programming to stay ahead of the curve.

For example, cable news has traditionally been profitable. In 2020, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC combined will have a profit of $3 billion. Free news streaming services would love to get a piece of that pie. In fact, some of them resemble the cable news model and style. While they are not yet able to compete with broadcast news, they are promoting the same high quality content that cable has. So, what are the benefits of streaming news?
