Cable news

Cable news is television journalism distributed through cable networks, often through channels that broadcast news programming continuously.

Cable television: A television distribution system that delivers programming to subscribers through coaxial or fiber-optic cables. Cable systems carry the channels that make cable news a distinct distribution model.
Ted Turner: An American media entrepreneur who founded CNN and expanded cable television broadcasting. Turner created the network that established continuous national cable news.
Broadcast television: Television transmitted over radio waves for reception by antennas, rather than delivered through a subscription cable system. Its over-the-air distribution contrasts with cable news's reliance on cable carriage.
Political polarization: The widening division of political beliefs and identities into opposing camps. Partisan programming is often examined for its role in intensifying political divisions.
News bulletin: A concise broadcast update presenting current news stories and essential details. Bulletins provide compact updates within a channel's ongoing schedule.
24-hour news cycle: A continuous cycle of news production and coverage that operates throughout the day and night. Continuous channels need a steady flow of updates, analysis, and repeat coverage.
CNN: An American television news network launched in 1980 as the first 24-hour news channel. Its launch turned round-the-clock cable news into a recognizable format.
Public broadcasting: Broadcasting organized around public service and commonly funded through public, charitable, or membership support. Its funding and service mandate differ from commercial cable news incentives.
Media bias: A systematic tendency in media selection or presentation that favors particular viewpoints or outcomes. Cable channels are frequently scrutinized for choices in framing, guests, and story emphasis.
News interview: A journalistic exchange in which a reporter questions a source, expert, or public figure. Interviews supply information and perspective during live or recorded programs.
