- The beast they refer to in the video is the reader's demanding constant news and information. Reporters have to continuously feed both what they find newsworthy, as well as what the public will find newsworthy. Reporters work around the clock to find the most relevant news and to present it in a meaningful and interesting way. The news is the only way the public can be informed about whats going on around the world and how news will effect them. The video also showed that reporters try to think from the readers perspective and look to remain credible.
-Due to the 24-hour news cycle in print, tv, and internet reporters are pressed to meet deadlines and gather all the relevant information before that happens. Reporters run into problems when they can't get the facts or interviews they need. In this circumstance, a good story may not make the news. It was also interesting to learn how relevant trust is between peers. Reporters must trust the members of their team.
