Covering local cable companies
Article Abstract:
Cable television is largely ignored by other media. Despite the large number of human interest stories in cable television, only a few reporters regularly cover the market. Many reporters concentrate on covering the movie and recording industries. Suggestions on possible ideas for stories about the cable television market are prescribed. These stories include rate increases, late fees and renewal terms. Documents about local cable companies can also be used in reporting about the cable television industry.
