codyg1985’s Think Tank

First it was the major networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS to lose viewers as people’s need were more catered by cable news networks. Now the internet is catering to people’s thirst for news more than any TV network could. Many news outlets are using the internet as a way to get any type of story out. From world news to wierd news, the internet caters all of that to users at the click of a mouse. Not the same for TV news: the producers decide what’s important. For internet users, you decide what is important.

I don’t have proof to show you that TV news outlet viewership is declining, but as for me, I look at the internet for stories, and in many cases, the internet provides the story a long time before any other outlet, including TV news, gets to the same story.

Evidence of the growing popularity of internet news sources is evidenced by the populariy of social bookmarking and news aggregator sites such as Digg, Newsvine, and Google News.
