Brainstorm: presentation type + structure ideas

Intro –skit based on stereotyped image of local news. Dodgy graphics + audio, set scabby and falling over, newsreader stiff and local looking. Interruption from boffin type “don’t you know it’s the 21st century?!” followed by idiots guide to internet TV and its benefits...

What types of internet TV are already being used by local news broadcasters, and what's the aim of it?

How effective is what's already being done?

Benefits for advertisers, viewers, broadcasters of branching out into new media?

What other ways could internet TV in its different forms be used by local news broadcasters?

How about interviewing producers of local news media to get their perspective..?
