“Not only does television news provide a seemingly endless stream of information, each bit (as it were) self-destructing in order to make room for the next, but information is dispersed on television among a number of genres and forms, including talk shows, educational/documentary type programs such as Nova, National Geographic Specials, and Wide, Wide World of Animals, “how-to” programs such as The Frugal Gourmet, This Old House, and Victory Garden, news “magazines” such as 60 Minutes and Chronicle, children’s shows (Sesame Street), sports, etc.” (Doane 252)
