News Good Morning America

View:

I could not help but to comment on the News Networks, and many of the cable networks and their consistently reporting about the sensatial, disaster, pain, agony and misfortune. The news is responsible for much of the current condition of the economy. Instead of giving the American people hope and confidence in the United States of America, the networks always paints a bad picture of doom and gloom, with out any hope for the future. Clearly, some of this information they spew is news, however the majority of the news today focuses on doom and gloom.

I can remember as a boy, times were different then, technology was still in its infancy, and what was happening today, we only learned of the following days. It was a much easier time in which to live. Life was difficult, but there was hope in the future. Trust is a word that means something. The Wall Street Gang, Corporate America, CEO's and Congress could be trusted. Those days will never come this way again. It's everybody for themselves which is a terrible indictment on the world today. Hopefully, American will come to its senses and return to the principals of Christianity, Charity, Brotherhood, and the regard of one's fellowman.

The further down the slippery slope that we slide it becomes harder and harder to have hope for a bright and happy tomorrow. We can only hope that human beings will once again become human beings and not animals which much of society has become. Wise old people understand that "now is the time to come to the aid of one's country. We cannot spend our way to a brighter and happier tomorrow.

The economy will certainly improve by itself, without the help of congress spending on silly ear marks and pork. It is time for conservative America to speak up and be heard. We have to recover the opportunity, through the vote, of being able to become once again a nation with intergrity and principles and not just a nation controlled by a group of people who have completely lost their sense of direction. A group of people who have their own interest at heart and not the Nation's. For Congress to vote to spend billions on frivolus items such as grass for the national monument, STD control, planned parenthood, and many more that we can not afford at this point in time.

News Good Morning America

People's news gathering habits have changed drastically over the past few years. Businesses that use digital signage can benefit from adding a news feed to their signs. Not only will narrowcasting the news get more people's attention, it fits right in with the way many coveted demographics (affluent, educated and under 40) get their news – on the fly and in small chunks.

Trends in News Gathering

It used to be that people got their news from their daily paper or their nightly national news broadcast. With the rise of the Internet, news seekers have shifted to online sources in huge numbers. According to an August, 2008 report by the Pew Center for the People & the Press, the changes have been dramatic:

• In 1998, 13% of the public went online for news three days a week. In 2008, that number had increased to 37%.

• In 1998 only 6% of respondents went online for news on a daily basis. In 2008, that number had increased to 25%.

• In 2008, 80% of people reported that they absorb news in some way every day. But traditional news sources (newspaper, TV networks and radio) saw their share of the news gathering audience shrink from 90% in 1994 to 73% in 1998.

What does all of this mean to companies with narrowcasting networks in their restaurants, bank branches, transit platforms and waiting rooms? People want to be informed. They want the latest news. And they are comfortable getting it from a wide range of sources, even those that might have been frowned upon as less than trustworthy a decade ago.

Including news in your narrowcasting network adds value. Instead of feeling they are being advertised to, people will appreciate the information being provided and gain a positive impression of your business.

And how does your business stand to gain? Again, we can extrapolate from the Pew Center study. The study divided groups into segments, including Integrators and Net-Newsers. The Integrators gather news from traditional and online sources. Net-Newsers rely much more heavily on online sources for their news.

It is what these segments have in common that is of most interest to creators of narrowcasting programming. They are both well-educated and affluent. Net-newsers are younger, but both groups combined represent a highly desired demographic in the eyes of advertisers.

How Narrowcasting the News Might Work in Your Business

News narrowcasting is not suited to every business. Busy grocery or department store shoppers will not stop to read news items on a digital sign. But for businesses where customers need to wait, narrowcasting the news makes sense: in a restaurant lounge where people wait for a table; in a medical office; in a bank branch; on a commuter train or subway platform.

The news feed can be incorporated as a small segment of the screen, leaving ample opportunity for your narrowcasting network to display video and images that promote your business. A balanced approach to informing and marketing will resonate strongly with your audience, and have a positive influence on your business.
