Streaming news is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s already a force to be reckoned with. It’s disrupting the way we get news, and has the potential to reshape political news coverage. It may also inspire new, overtly political news operations. And, it’s not bound by the constraints of traditional TV licensing, which may encourage new players to enter the market.
Historically, broadcast news has been a lucrative business. But the economic pressures of the Great Recession and the resulting mental health crisis have created new levels of stress for higher education staff and students across the country and world.
Streaming news has been able to nichify coverage, and it’s attracting audiences of all types. It’s also attracting new players, who are eager to join the fray.
Streaming news offers news at a time that suits the viewer, and it can be delivered anywhere. It’s also inexpensive, and enables networks to archive their content. In short, streaming news is like conventional TV, only more versatile.
Streaming news also allows viewers to create a personalized experience. They can block topics they don’t want to watch, or express their opinions. Users can also follow trending topics. And, it’s easy to find local TV stations on the news page.
Streaming news also sets the stage for an eventual polarization of the news audience. The multiplicity of new choices could feed viewers’ polarization and lead them to sink deeper into political silos.
One major player in this new space is Fox. It has attracted 1.5 million subscribers to its Fox Nation streaming app. It’s also proving that TV audiences will pay for content.
