TV news is the number one source in the America. In fact, it is probably the number one source in the world. Why TV news is so attractive, why the first thing many people do when they return home is to watch CNN?
TV news provides the most privilege to their audience, the visual image. Imagine that, when there is a gunshot happens in a high-school, what you will hear from radio is just the report from the front line. If you want to see this news on newspaper, you have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe the shooter has already been taken down by the cops. However, if you are watching TV right now, you could follow this news. You can see the gun shot live, though it sounds little bit scared. You can see the cops with real guns, you can see the people who are screaming and you can see the terrible thing which happened right now. It provides the live feeling which other medium cannot.
I don’t believe some network does tremendous better jobs than other. However, I do believe CNN is the best news provider. For instance, as we saw the movie: Live from Baghdad. CNN broadcasted 24 hours a day and was the only one news team when U.S air force bombed the Baghdad. And when 9.11 happened, the all Chinese stationed used the CNN sources.
As far as I see, local television stations affiliate with networks is a good way to promote advertisement selling and enhance the authoritative of their news. People trust big networks, most people believe news from networks is more verity. And i thinks it is not really matter that local station affiliate with networks. It will certainly bring the local news at the first time. People don't need to worry about that local stations will showing network programs instead of local news.
I watched ABC the most time. Because of I've been to their station. Sounds like a good reason right?
