60 minutes and PBS NewsHour beg to differ
- ok123456 4y agoThose don't make money.
- MomoXenosaga 4y agoThey don't but European countries fund independent journalism and documentary makers. Check out IDFA. https://www.idfa.nl/en/ https://www.idfa.nl/en/

- brookst 4y agoHow do their audiences compare to everything else on TV? The fact there are two, made three, programs out of... what, 1000 programs a week? I wouldn't take that as evidence that broadcast TV is well suited for long form journalism. They're often good material. But they are way way way fringe. 60 Minutes especially is probably only still around because it would be a public embarrassment to kill it. I mean, the heavy metal sonic aesthetic is not well suited for Mariachi music. The fact that Metalachi exists and has a following doesn't disprove the hypothesis.
