Some of the biggest news stories of all time - the Chilean Miner Rescue, the OJ Simpson Trial, and the Miracle on the Hudson - started with high-quality reporting from local news.
Today, local news broadcasters face unprecedented challenges. According to Pew Research, Americans increasingly turn to social media platforms or other online sources. Younger US adults are now reported to trust social media information as much as information from national news outlets.
While local channels have seen a large audience decline, they still attract the biggest audience compared to cable and network stations - and that presents a huge opportunity for local broadcasters. In fact, despite that viewership decline, local TV stations have seen an increase in revenue from both advertising and retransmission fees in recent years, particularly during election years.
Using technology to make more with less Even simple weather forecasting graphics involve ingesting and processing multiple data sources. If local news created graphics from scratch every broadcast and updated them manually, they could never keep up with national organisations.
Automated data ingestion and templated graphics expedite and simplify this process, allowing local news producers to use the highest-quality graphics without overburdening their creative teams, saving a lot of time and resources from repetitive manual creative work.
Local news network Graham Media Group uses super-templates' to create and distribute high-fidelity, on-brand graphics for their network of stations from a single creative hub.
Watch the video below to see how Graham Media use XPression to do more in less time.
Ensuring brand consistency and integrity across platforms Brand consistency conveys professionalism and credibility. Automated templates like lower-third graphics, over-the-shoulder graphics, transitions, etc., give local news the ability to quickly incorporate consistent graphics, even when covering novel topics.
Automation also makes it easier for newsrooms to distribute content to multiple platforms. 86% of Americans sometimes or often get news from a smartphone, computer, or tablet, so news stations must leverage creative technology to configure their news broadcast graphics to fit different aspect ratios, screens, orientations, and contexts.
Levelling the playing field with smart content creation There is a huge opportunity for local TV news stations in this election cycle. High-quality stories told with a true local voice, real on-the-ground reporting, and clever use of high-fidelity graphics can give local news stations an edge over larger broadcasters in an age when people are ever more discerning in the sources they choose.
Ross Video's technology like XPression and Streamline Pro help local broadcasters around the world take full advantage of modern graphics and compete with national broadcasters.
