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.
