Historically, broadcast news has been profitable. But financial pressures have led to new stress in higher education staff around the world. A pandemic and the Great Resignation have added to the strain.
A new ordinance will be introduced next week that will eliminate fees for sending public records electronically. It also will establish a new policy on handling public records requests.
Streaming technology has made news delivery more timely and economical. It also allows audiences to watch news anywhere, anytime. This has fueled a proliferation of new choices for viewers. This multiplicity of choices could fuel a polarization in the viewing pool.
Streaming also allows news networks to archive content. This gives them a leg up over their broadcast competitors.
Streaming news has proven to attract niche audiences. Aside from repurposed broadcast programming, these networks also offer documentaries, reruns, news analysis and more. The streamers are essentially telling viewers that they can cut their cable subscription and get cable-quality news.
One of the big questions about streaming is whether or not viewers will pay for news. Historically, cable broadcasters have been profitable. But commercial-averse viewers may opt to pay for another channel.

Streaming news also sets the standard for other news technologies.
