Broadcast news is one of the largest organizations in the television
industry. During the past twenty years, our nation has seen a
tremendous growth in the dissemination of television news, primarily
via cable. A new paradigm shift in television news was created with the
advent of the 24-hour News Network. Through this format, the industry re-invented itself and discovered a whole new audience of
eager viewers. Today, with the advent of video streaming, iPods, cell
phones and other hand-held mobile devices that are becoming new viewing
portals, the television news industry will continue its dynamic growth
and reach an entirely new generation of viewers.
