News vs News websites
Who has more information? I have yet to decide. The News website has more information then I have ever seen, however this is also because they have the scripts from past weeks shows. While during a news broadcast information is given quickly and sometimes condensed versions. This is why News stations need the websites. You have heard the classic "For more information please visit our website" Not to mention that websites are accessable 24/7. Therefore it is quicker and sometimes easier to access the news online, as oppossed to waiting for a news program to air. The other major benfit of the website is that you can read what was aired in the scripts for the actaul newscast.
The broadcast has in away, become dependent on the website to get the news to people who do not have time to sit down; and read a newspaper or watch the broadcast. But has the website become dependent on the broadcast? I am not so sure.
