Low Confidence
• Edward Murrow and CBS owner William Paley never saw the potential of Television news at first.
• Paley saw no profit in it and thought it could hurt the radio news stations.
• Murrow and his colleagues were writers who thought that Television was an entertaining median but could damage the journalistic principles.

COMPETITION
• CBS started to self-destruct from competition.
• CNN
• 24 hour news forced the networks to feed breaking stories.
• Viewers paid attention during time of crisis
• News room dependence on anchor personalities, dramatic video, high story counts, large advertising budgets. Television stressed time-sensitive stories, yielding an imbalance toward events that developed in the evening: crime, traffic and fires. They got into technological races with their competitors over who had the best weather equipment, helicopter reports, and satellite access.

THE VIDEO JOURNALISM REVOLUTION
• TV news stations have created video journalists, also known as backpack journalists. They work solo and serve as both videographer and reporter on assignment. Print media, such as newspapers and magazines, are producing news videos for their websites.
• Previously, if you wanted to make TV news, it was an expensive proposition. You needed a $35,000 camera and an even more expensive editing station, along with well-trained multiple person crews. Now, cheap digital video cameras and free video-editing software is abundant, and college students working alone can make TV broadcasts using just a a $175 camera and a laptop computer.

THE SIGNIFICANT DECLINE OF NETWORK EVENINGS NEWS OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS
• They're getting a fraction of the viewers they did two decades ago, even though the population has significantly increased. The reason is because viewers have so many more options now. 25 years ago, their only options were ABC, CBS, and NBC. Then CNN came on the scene and forever changed the playing field.
