We can put better images and sound on the air, faster, and easier. But the fact that it is easier probably makes our work suffer. You get individuals who don't really care about quality. We lose the apprenticeship system, which teaches not only skills, but pride in the product. The problem I've seen is most stations are hiring young cheap labor.
Many people entering the news business have little or no experince.
Stations hire producers,desk people who have no clue what news is and most stations are now bean counters who only look at the bottom line. Some are good. The one thing which bothers me most about the changes is that local news and even networks don't dedicate the time necessary to tell the complete story. If you don't believe it, that's because you have been brainwashed by the left. Too often, the media repeats the utterances of government.
