In order to get the latest up to the minute coverage, you need to have your television on all the time and tuned to one of the all news stations. The Cable News Network or CNN was the first 24 hour current events network, and it launched June 1, 1980. Other networks have since launched their own versions of 24 hour programming such as FOX and MSNBC. The Weather Channel provides 24 hour coverage of weather across the globe, and it is crucial to understand how the weather can alter current events. Political leaders have people who watch the stations all the time to report any essential breaking news to them.

Millions of people use various online news organizations as their primary sources for local, national and world news. Most newspapers have an online version which is much more convenient to consumers than the print version. News on the Internet can be updated immediately as events unfold, whereas printed papers are already out of date before they are even delivered by the paperboy. Sometimes the newspaper is only good for lining the cage of a parakeet by the time it is de...

    The newspaper has been a reliable, yet flawed source of current events throughout all of American history. A newspaper can only inform a person of events that occurred a day previous to its publication, whereas news stations can provide up-to-the-minute information due to multiple broadcasts throughout the day, and can even interrupt other programs for breaking news in order to keep the public informed. The popularity in television causes a viewer to be up to speed in recent events and socially aware, instead of relying on

    When NBC began airing the news over television, they borrowed labor and equipment from radio. Soon the theatrical newsreels were added into the news programs.

    With every large successful materialistic object or figure in society comes its pros and cons. For the Fox News Channel, these pros and cons include its overall ratings and viewership. For over a number of years Fox News has remained atop of the rating scale in the number one spot, providing the public with the news. People claim it is biased and justly unfair, however, it is that very news that they produce which has made it famous and one of the most well respected news networks to this day.

  • PBS News Hour

    863 Words  | 2 Pages

    PBS goes into more detail about the breaking news and with longer strung out interviews, because it is a longer broadcast. Also, I could tell between the anchors this was a more liberal/democratic view of news. The network stations are only thirty minute segments which means the anchors only have a few minutes for each story they want to talk about. This allows them to only hit the high points and not all the details. As far as these networks being biased towards a republican or democratic point of view, at times this is easy to point out and other times the stories come out unbiased. Interestingly enough PBS and the network stations all had the same breaking news. Except for PBS who never spoke anything about the weather, like most network stations do. I think there are more short stories displayed in network news then there are on PBS. PBS tends to hit a few important stories but, talks about them for a long time, leaving not enough time to do short stories. All stations did include the same bits and pieces of president Trump speaking as well as Elizabeth Walker. The network news did not have time to do long personal interviews like PBS did. At the end of PBS and the network news all of the anchors did a simple, sweet story to lighten up the evening. Each one of these stories were different but, unique in their own way. This is the anchors way of showing that there is still good in the world. Not everything is dark and depressing. This adds a personal touch to keep fans coming back for the next news

  • Analysis of News Channels

    1232 Words  | 3 Pages

    From viewing all of the above programs, I concluded the following details. All the news channels demonstrate bias. Government channels such as SBS and ABC are usually better at presenting the world news than other channels, but at times they can get tedious with their bias towards the Government. The best presenters of current affairs were probably channel 9, as they did not spend too much time confronting politicians, and alleged criminals. So in conclusion, I don’t believe that any of the free-to-air channels is better than the others at presenting the news. So I believe that the only way to get a decent sort of news is to observe a series of broadcasts, then take the information that you think is relevant.

    Angelo Agostini, the illustrator, journalist and founder of several publications, once said: “The Internet is creating big changes in the field of journalism. Hoping to appeal to a youthful public which is fast abandoning the printed word, the world’s leading newspapers are creating a presence for themselves on the Net, and making imaginative efforts to transform the whole business of providing news and information.” Nowadays, the increasing popularity of internet has brought not only a revolution in every walk of life, but also represents a sequence of challenges, especially in in our daily practice of journalism.
