Your points about companies splitting TV from newspaper, makes me wonder if we'll ever see a periodical journalism outfit grown out of a streaming provider like Netflix or Amazon Prime.
`Netflix premiers Vice News Nightly`
- knowtheory 12y agoThat's an interesting idea, but again, problem is that most journalism isn't done for video right now (not to say that there's none. There is a fair amount, just definitely not anywhere near the majority of either video produced, nor journalism written)
- ghaff 12y agoThe bigger problem is that classic journalism of the sort that people lament we don't have enough of is a loss leader. Certainly the streaming services would consider doing something like HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver which is a good example of the news-as-entertainment/journalism hybrids that are probably one of the few things about the (sort of) news business that are doing quite well.
- russell_h 12y agoYou called out Vice News which is already on HBO. I'd argue that HBO and Netflix are rapidly converging towards direct competition in the streaming market.
- ak217 12y agoYes - they are competing already. HBO Now is out. https://order.hbonow.com/ https://order.hbonow.com/
