After watching the video, I was impressed by the similarity in the news gathering process of print and broadcast journalism. The daily meetings and discussions about what should be the top stories remain similar regardless of the medium. The values in the news organizations also stay the same. Credibility and accuracy are of extreme importance. I also thought it was interesting that while the reporter is primarily interested in getting the story, editors are more concerned about the presentation of the story, where it is placed and making sure it is digestible for the reader or viewer.
It was also interesting to see the behind the scenes involvement of all the people it takes to put out the news each day. I agree with the notion that the general public doesn't realize everything that goes "into feeding the best," and how deep an organization newsrooms actually are. It's a daily grind and generally a somewhat stressful environment. I think the video did a good job explaining how producing daily news is dependent upon a group effort and isn't something one can accomplish alone.
