Print Media Vs. Broadcast Media
The broadcast and print media have different approaches to gathering and presenting the news. The broadcast media want a nugget of an update or an overall statement that can be read in less than a minute. The print media seek to present as much information about the topic as possible.

Newspapers are losing readership. More than 70 percent of American adults get their news from television, according to a 2010 survey done by the Pew Research Center. Although half of those surveyed said they read a newspaper, the country's newspaper circulation has dropped by 25.6 percent since 2000.
Mission
-
TV reporters gather results. Broadcast news provides quick updates and results. Print news stories explain the updates and results.
-
Timing
-
Newspapers report complete stories. Broadcast news, especially television, presents a moment in time built around video and interviews---the golf tournament's winning putt or a politician's reaction to his opponent's statement. Newspapers seek to present the whole story and its impact.
Local News
-
Traffic accidents are TV fare. For local television stations, 90 percent of the news broadcast is about accidents, crime and scheduled events according to a 1999 study of 19 television markets. Newspapers are more active in local coverage, reporting on everything from schools to business to religion.
National News
-
Reporting on national news. The major television networks, as well as daily newspapers, report on top stories and big events, according a report done by the Freedom Forum Media Studies Center at Columbia.
Accuracy
-
Editing newspaper stories. Newspaper reporters' stories pass through several people who question and seek validation of the key facts. Television accounts are more likely to go straight from the reporters to the audiences.
