What's Happening to the News?

In these news clips it is interesting to see the decline of news on television and the transformation that the news world has gone through. This news story really covers what the news has become as well as what the people want to see now. I have a friend who’s father owns the Columbia newspaper in Clark County. His family and its business have been struggling due to the changes of readers switching to the internet for their source of news. It is unbelievable the changes that the news industry has been going through with the transformation through the online community.
These clips went on to talk about how comedy has stepped into the news as well. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has become one of the top sources of news for Americans today. This is very weird to think of how serious the news has always been and the transformation that has become of it. Americans look for and expect entertainment in everything they do.
The news has also transformed from just basic hard news to investigative news shows. These news shows have become one of the most popular genres of news in America. People are always curious to see the in-depth truth to the news of the world and these investigative teams really show us that, thus quickly transforming news operations to more in-depth news reporting.
