In some parts of the world there are 'rolling news' TV channels that broadcast news 24 hours a day, such as CNN in the United States or the BBC in the United Kingdom. Cable News Network, usually referred to by its Initialism CNN, is a major English language Television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner Many news reports presented on the Internet are updated 24 hours a day.
Newscasts consist of several different elements, introduced by a news presenter or presenters. The presenters read 'links' and do interviews.
Most news stories come in the form of short 'packages'. These are pre-recorded reports usually lasting from one to five minutes. News reporters gather and edit together interview clips, pictures and their own 'pieces to camera' to tell a story. They script and record a 'voice-over' to explain the pictures and link the elements together.
Some stories are done as live reports. This can be a reporter on the scene of a story either being interviewed by a studio presenter (sometimes known as a 'two-way'), a reporter interviewing one or more other people, or simply live pictures and sound of an event. The sound and pictures are sent back to the TV station via fixed cable links, bounced off a satellite through a satellite truck, or sent through microwave radio transmissions from a vehicle carrying a microwave transmitter. This article is about artificial satellites For natural satellites also known as moons see Natural satellite. A satellite truck is a mobile satellite Earth station typically mounted on a truck chassis as a platform allowing satellite transmission from any location that the vehicle Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with Wavelengths ranging from 1 mm to 1 m or frequencies between 0 Radio is the transmission of signals by Modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible Light. With the growth of "rolling news" channels the use of live material has increased enormously and TV reporters are now often judged as much on their ability to perform live in front of a camera as on their package-making or writing skills.
TV news programs are put together by producers, who decide what goes in and what gets left out, and how long and in what form each story is presented. They put together 'running orders' - a list of the stories in what they decide is the right order.
A separate news editor or assignment editor is often responsible for co-ordinating the gathering of material.
A director puts the show together, with help of the technical director, floor director and a crew of people running audio, graphics, telepromptor, and cameras. The Technical Director ( TD) or Technical Producer ( TP) is usually the most senior technical person within a Software Company, Theatrical Stage management is a sub-discipline of Stagecraft.

Effects on society
The invention of telecommunications and broadcasting has resulted in "the uncoupling of space and time. " Spatial distanciation no longer required spacial distanciation. Information can be transmitted over long distances with hardly any delay. [1]
Broadcasting, especially news programs, have changed the way we perceive many people, ideas, jobs, etc. At one time, the leadership and authority of politicians were in awe with everybody. Now that their speeches, actions and decisions are all recorded and broadcast on news programs, people realized they make mistakes too, and are just like any other person. Not only does TV decrease our awe, it also increases the politician's self-doubt and lowers self-esteem. When giving a speech, we can see the speech-givers nerves and anxiety up close. [2]
