[In the 1980’s 24-hour news was introduced via cable television. Constant news streaming enabled viewers to have access to information at any given time throughout the day, regardless of schedule. This provided access to the news for many people who were not able to watch or listen to the regularly programmed news channels in the morning or evening. 24-hour news has had many different effects on media content and how it is comprehended by viewers.

Media outlets (and the type of news reported): Media outlets now have the opportunity to deliver news to consumers 24/7. The news selection is largely dictated by different structural biases. One structural bias that contributes to news media selection is called called temporal bias. Temporal Bias is the idea that news is biased in a way that the most recent news is reported as a top priority. This also leads to the idea that news can be “looked for” and reportings are sometimes not newsworthy content at all.

People: Viewers are also affected by the 24-hour news cycle. Two structural biases that contribute to this are bad news bias and visual bias. Combined, these biases contribute to cultivation theory. Visual bias:This is where a constant bias towards visual descriptions of images and pictures comes into play. Without images to go along with news there is little attention given. Bad news bias: This is where good news is no news, it is too boring and gets little to no attention. Bad news Bias makes everything look bad and more dangerous than it really is, it turns decent human beings into monsters. More can be found about bad news bias here. Bad News bias could be shaping viewers opinions of the world by what is known as Cultivation theory.

This theory states that those who indulge themselves in an excessive amount of television began to believe that the reality on screen is directly related to the reality in the real world.  These images, ideas, and thoughts that are portrayed are heavily influenced and perceived as real world expectations. 

Internet sites (social media, filter bubbles)

The introduction of news apps has allowed 24 hour news to be easily accessible via smartphones. News aggregator apps are a popular way to have 24 hour news, where a third party cycles through a user’s news preferences to obtain all the news an individual may want.

This is a copy and paste of the current wiki page content:

News put interaction between people and communication in a whole new light. The 24-hour news cycle (or 24/7 news cycle) refers to 24-hour investigation and reporting of news, concomitant with fast-paced lifestyles. The vast news resources available in recent decades have increased competition for audience and advertiser attention, prompting media providers to deliver the latest news in the most compelling manner in order to remain ahead of competitors. Television, radio, print, online, and apps for news all have many suppliers who want to be relevant to their audiences and deliver news first. Although all-news radio operated for decades earlier, the 24-hour news cycle arrived with the advent of cable television channels dedicated to news[1] and brought about a much faster pace of news production with an increased demand for stories that can be presented as continual news with constant updating. This was a contrast with the day-by-day pace of the news cycle of printed daily newspapers.[2] A high premium on faster reporting would see a further increase with the advent of online news.[3] [our stuff can go here: current ways the 24 hour news cycle affects: people, media production, internet] A complete news cycle consists of the media reporting on some event, followed by the media reporting on public and other reactions to the earlier reports. The advent of 24-hour cable and satellite television news channels and, in more recent times, of news sources on the World Wide Web (including blogs), considerably shortened this process.
