Additionally, it can gain more television rating points as compared to an average day to day news show. Lastly, in today's busy lifestyle people want some good headlines with alluring photographs to start their day. Also, to get a quick update about what is going on around the globe. Ċ To conclude, it is an ideal way to increase the popularity of channels or newspapers by displaying appealing photographs for their readers and viewers.
