News Channels Turning Into Entertainment Channels
yes we are getting a feeling that they are becoming entertainment channels..
.but in business point of view, what they are doing is right to some extent.
..there are hundreds of news channels in India...each month the number is increasing...the aim of every channel is to get new customers and retain the existing...as far as financial cost for maintaining a channel is concerned
,its huge... so it is a do or die situation for them..a channel has to target all kinds of viewers ..if u examine the viewers of television channels, the majority are young people...majority of young people like the latest fashion trends and films. i am not saying they completely dislike politics....so the main aim of news channels is to catch this young vibrant generation and get the maximum advertisement revenue.....thats the reason why they are giving preference to films and latest trends....further the concept of

..but according to me the first priority for every news channels should be the national and international news..after that they can give due importance to entertainment.....in my opinion the Indian news channels are doing a commendable role in safeguarding our democracy and freedoms....the sting operations are only one of them
(but not by LIVE INDIA)...a free and independent media is considered to be the fourth pillar of democracy.sometimes i feel that our media is much for free than many American news channels...but Indian media has to go a long way....they should concentrate more on exposing corruption and human right violations....if they do this they can change the life of millions

    NBC and the Innovation of Television News

    In order to begin broadcasting news on the television, NBC had to find the perfect format that could easily be understood by the audience. They started by experimenting with the combination of the method used by radio stations and the method used by theatrical newsreels. The news-anchor would recite the news while music played in the background, complimenting photos, filmed events, and headlines that were displayed on the screen. This program was first used by NBC in 1940 on a show called "The Esso Television Reporter" that was financed by Standard Oil.…

    Media Converging

    The Digital Age has bought about a change to the way we access and consume news. Before the accessibility of email, readers would pick up the newspaper and if there was anything on the readers mind, they would send a letter to the editor to voice an opinion. With the advent of the Internet and converging media, journalist must compete with the rise of the amateur reporter. The reader has gone from the news consumer; to the news producers. One such example was the Boston Marathon bombing. The average citizen provided most of what we at home were viewing as we watched the terror unfold. Information about victims had already started showing up on the social media sites. Video of the blast had been shared on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. In the past when a news story broke, the journalist would be the one to find background information and photos of those involved. Now that the spread of digital video, photo enable mobile phones, combined with blogs and viral distribution of the internet, this technology is making publishers take a second look at the way news is being reported. News organizations are no longer competing with just other news sources, but the readers themselves. Some news agencies have embraced this new digital age, such as CNN who has added the iReport to their website, giving some bloggers a place to upload videos and report a story as it…

There are a lot of programs that specializes in the younger people who are below age of majority as compared to the few decades ago where news coverage mainly focused on the interest of older people since they had access to the media platforms such as TVs and radios (Robinson, 2011).
