newer outlets?
im wondering why news stations have not tried newer ways of communicating stories. Why not have constant news releases as stories occur. Such as having a 2 minute story update in-between shows. it would keep the viewer on the channel watching the show as they look forward to another story at the end, instead of waiting for 10 o'clock to roll around and watch a whole segment. Branching out even a tad further, why not post videos of news online as they happen. We all like to "google" so why not make the new "search" word or "go to source" the the actual news station. Im just thinking that if they want to be the number one source, they are going to have to release things quicker to stay in the race with social networking sites.

I think that would be a good idea. If the news was more into the internet and posting content on the web it would help. Although i don't exactly watch the news I would view things on the internet. The social networking phenomena has taken over the world and i think that in some way all local stations should think about incorporating more things onto the social networking sites.
ReplyDeleteThey could start making online news the feed of the day. What stories hit on Google News or Digg, how fast they hit and morf and change. The news could be what makes news online... hmmm. there could be a few bugs to work out here...
