Abstract
This study challenges whether the television (TV) news story has changed due to the advancement in technologies and adaption of production methods from a Fordist to a post-Fordist routine. Textual analysis of 40 years of producing the “news package” appears to reveal minimal changes to the length and framework; however, there seems to be significant changes to the “genetic” construction. While at first, the changes appear to be driven by technology, it may be reasonable to question whether or not technological advancement is responsible. This essay looks at the construction of a TV news story from a microlevel of production as well as examines possible causes for the progressive alterations.
