How Do You Explain How TV News Works?

Story and content and truth are what’s important and what we should focus on. Journalism that is compelling and meaningful to the audience. Having a conversation with the audience, however it was that they got to the newscast in the first place. Young millennials hardly even own TVs anymore. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be part of the news conversation, it just means we have to think of new ways to draw them in. And it’s not just the young adults, it’s becoming all adults.
