Ukrainian prime minister pledges anti-corruption reform amid resignations

If you’re an avid TV watcher, you’ve probably noticed a change in the way news is reported. Unlike the days of yore, when you were stuck with a local radio station that could only tell you what happened yesterday, today’s news can be delivered on your own schedule.
Streaming news is the latest iteration in a long-standing cultural trend. It’s a way to deliver timely news wherever you are. The benefits of streaming are many. Besides allowing you to view your favorite programming on any device, it can also provide news reruns and archived content.
News networks are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in streaming operations. They know that it can be an effective way to attract audiences. They have high hopes for it, too.
While there is no hard data to determine whether streaming news can supplant broadcast, several factors suggest it is a good bet. For starters, a recent study showed that viewers spent more time watching streamed programming than they did watching broadcast.
Another potential benefit is that streaming can reduce the number of competing news sources. Historically, cable and broadcast networks have dominated the market. However, as the streaming model continues to spread, there are bound to be new competitors.
Streaming has already drawn attention from companies like Al Jazeera, Cheddar, and Bloomberg. All of these organizations have planted flags in the streaming frontier.
Free news streamers have also popped up. Like cable, they’re offering free service that tries to replicate what television has done best.
