Content: On the other hand, publicizing a story at just the right time in the news cycle will most likely get picked up by the media—as long as the information is viewed by the media as being important to the public. So exactly what is a news cycle, and how does a news cycle work across different news platforms? Let's start by looking at the different kinds of media outlets because they all operate on completely different news cycles. Newspapers
Newspapers, whether national or local in nature, are printed once a day, typically at night. Even though the majority of newspapers have digital versions, online coverage either applies to breaking news stories or stories that ran in the print edition and may be extended or shortened in length. Also, major publications like The New York Times will often include video. Traditionally, newspapers operate on a 24-hour news cycle—digital versions post more often. Blogs
Because there are so many blogs out there, even though they are updated more often than print media, it's hard to make blanket statements about them. A blog can offer recipes for Southwestern entrees or business leadership advice. Most blogs are written by one person with a keyboard.
