Over the last twenty years, we saw the evolution of the rolling news channel (CNN) and now, even more recently, news on the internet. So many changes have occured over the past twenty years in television news, such as an increase in global correspondants for the BBC and different on screen graphics. I thought I'd start a thread to see what you think may happen in the next twenty years, to television news, and what changes might occur. This includes style or reporting and on screen presentation
The trend for pictures and reports coming from the public will grow, and there's some interesting ideas about public journalism on the net following on from blogs and wikis.

the news to cater to your individual preferences.
Another idea for the future is for your preferences and tastes to dictate what stories you see, so you see reports that are more relevant to you. It's another thing that's come from the web but could be used with VOD.

Oh right. Sounds interesting. How will the role of the common reporter change?
I read somewhere thAt the BBC are considering providing local news. So for me, living in Buxton, I suppose they'll provide a 'Buxton Today' type show. That sounds like a good idea but the content will be bad. Trust me!
The BBC have announced a trial of local news in the Midlands I believe. The aim is to expand the web Where I Live regions into small TV operations - run on VJ-lines. The broadcasts will be about 10 mins, downloadable on the web, and run as a carousel service on a DSat channel (so there will be 6 different mini-regions in an hour?)

Yes, information so far has said regional news will be available at "fixed times" on a satellite interactive service. Also there was some interesting information going round that the Midlands WIL trial will also utilise mobile phone technology though I'm not sure how that will work.

I guess that could mean :
1. Mobile phones are used for newsgathering - presumably for stills rather than video, as mobile phone video quality is still not quite there.
2. That the bulletins could be streamed TO mobile phones?
