Today’s news coverage is undergoing a radical transformation. Streaming is one of the main drivers of this change, which is already affecting political news coverage and the way it is delivered.
Streaming’s advantages include the ability to deliver content anytime, anywhere, and in a format that works for the viewer’s specific device. Moreover, the speed of news spread has increased thanks to technological advancements.
For years, news networks have positioned themselves to take advantage of the streaming audience. They have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations. Now, major news networks are hoping to use this new technology to further reshape the way news is delivered.
With the rise of online video streaming, the boundaries between news and entertainment are likely to shift. This could reshape political news coverage, as well. One America News is reportedly eyeing a place in the streaming marketplace, and Fox News Channel has already entered the space.
But the streaming model is only part of the overall media landscape. It is important to understand how news is created, and how that impacts the way it is consumed.
The first newspapers in Germany emerged in the early 1600s. Their format placed hard news stories on the front page. Unlike news on radio, they were readable without the aid of a reporter. Newspapers also had the advantage of being portable, which was a plus in the town crier’s time.
During the 20th century, television and radio became important means of transmitting news. Both cable and broadcast news have been historically profitable.
