Part 7/8:
In concluding their discussion, the topic of traditional network news emerges, with Goldberg asserting that its era has ended. Drawing on statistics concerning the viewership of CBS Evening News since its peak, Goldberg suggests that the current small audiences signify a profound shift in how people consume news. He contends that these established networks, which garnered far greater numbers in the past, no longer resonate with today’s media consumers.
Echoing Goldberg's insights, O'Reilly agrees, characterizing network news as a relic of the past—indicative of a significant change driven by the rise of cable news and digital platforms.
