News broadcasting
News broadcasting is the production and transmission of reports about current events through television, radio, and digital broadcast channels.
News production: The gathering, verification, editing, and presentation of information as news. This workflow turns raw reports into broadcast-ready stories.
Radio broadcasting: The transmission of audio programs from stations to a dispersed audience. News broadcasting grew from radio's capacity for rapid, simultaneous delivery.
Local news: News reporting focused on events and issues in a particular community or region. Local broadcasts connect national news practices to nearby events and services.
Print journalism: Journalism published in newspapers, magazines, and other printed formats. It distributes news through fixed text and images rather than scheduled audio or video.
Broadcast journalism: Journalism produced for radio, television, or other broadcast media. Its reporting and presentation conventions shape broadcast news.
Television broadcasting: The transmission of moving images and sound to television receivers. Television extended broadcast news from sound to audiovisual reporting.
Network news: News programming distributed by a television or radio network to affiliated stations. Network programs provide coordinated national coverage across many markets.
Online journalism: Journalism published and updated through websites, apps, and other internet services. Digital publishing can update continuously without a broadcast schedule.
News bulletin: A brief broadcast program that presents a selection of recent news stories. Bulletins are a standard format for delivering current events.
BBC News: The news division of the British Broadcasting Corporation, founded in 1922 as a radio news service. Its early bulletins helped establish institutional broadcast journalism.
