Live streaming is taken for granted by most people today, but the fact that pretty much anyone with an internet connection and a smartphone can broadcast live via the internet is an astonishing innovation.  Just a few years ago, to broadcast live over the air or over the internet would have cost you thousands of dollars. Now the barrier to entry is pretty much non-existent.

 

What do you think? Do you use live streaming in for your career or business?

TV News’ Original Sin

Local TV news is also in trouble. Viewership is down and the all-important younger demographic is not even interested in watching. How can we get them watching?
