The power of 24-hour news

Technology is a massive part of the world today.  Technology is relayed upon like breathing is required to stay alive.  It is used to communicate with friends, and family.  It provides us with many opportunities, keeps us informed, and connected with the world.  Technology is an important part of our everyday life, but how has it changed us as a society? How has if effected our ability to communicate and get information? 

Before news was introduced to the world communication was used through letters, telegraphs, and through word of mouth.  News was also spread by others traveling long distances for visiting family, friends, or relatives.  It was a slow and sometimes when news finally got to you it was already old and more current news was available.  Before news everyone had their own opinions and thoughts about how to live life, what was right and what was wrong.

In the1980’s news was introduced.  It opened up a whole new world.  News allowed everyone to be on the same page.  News brought everyone together and created unity.  America became a country more united than ever before.  For once a visual image was painted in people’s minds about what was going on in.  It was a lot better than waiting for a letter to arrive.

News put interaction between people and communication in a whole new light.  

For this Assignment I am working on 24-hour news with Emilee Ayers. I think it would be interesting to add and look into the effects of 24-hour news has on the public. Emilee will be looking into the effects that 24-hour news has had in the political realm. I think this would add greater depth and understanding on the role of 24-hour news.

Television[edit source] "In a broadcast system (television), journalists or reporters are also involved with editing the video material that has been shot alongside their research, and in working on the visual narrative of the story. Broadcast journalists often make an appearance in the news story at the beginning or end of the video clip. In television or broadcast journalism, news analysts (also called news-casters or news anchors) examine, interpret, and broadcast news received from various sources of information. Anchors present this as news, either videotaped or live, through transmissions from on-the-scene reporters (news correspondents). News films ("clips") can vary in length; there are some which may be as long as ten minutes, others that need to fit in all the relevant information and material in two or three minutes. News channels these days have also begun to host special documentary films that stretch for much longer durations and are able to explore a news subject or issue in greater detail. The desk persons categorise news stories with various formats according to the merit of the story. Such formats include AVO, AVO Byte, Pkg, VO SOT, VOX POP, and Ancho Visual. The AVO, or Anchor Voice Over, is the short form of news. The story is written in a gist. According to the script visual is edited. The anchor reads the news while the visual is broadcast simultaneously. Generally, the duration of an AVO is 30 to 40 seconds. The script is three to four lines. At first the anchor starts to read the news, and, after reading one or one-and-a-half lines, the visual is aired, overlapping the face of anchor. The AVO Byte has two parts: An AVO, and one or more bytes. This is the same as an AVO, except that as soon as the AVO ends, the Byte is aired. The Pkg has three parts: Anchor, Voice Over, and Sign Off. At first a Script is written. A voice over anchor reads the anchor or anchor intro part."
