News coverage is the information and analysis of current events that are broadcast on television, radio, or online. It can also include print articles or written commentary.
Most journalists work in the field to gather and report on the news, often working in teams with other reporters or videographers. They may be sent to remote locations to collect video footage, photos, or audio interviews, and then transmit it back to the studio for analysis and broadcasting. They can also write and edit their stories using computer programs.
Many of the biggest names in news are familiar to most people, whether it’s on their TV screens or scrolling through social feeds. ABC News has been around for decades and is still one of the most popular sources for news. They focus on the major national and international issues like politics, crime, climate change, health, money (under MoneyWatch), science, culture, and more. They’ve been accused of leaning left by some media watchdogs but say they try to be fair.
