The electronic media-- television and radio -- have more acute problems than does the press when it comes to news reporting. A normal bradcast can cover only a small part of a news day. The object is to transmit the gist of a story without supplying its background. Another difficulty of electronic news broadcasting is its transient nature; the viewers or listeners may miss an important story if their attention wanders. On the other hand, because radio and television present news in a more terse and exciting way, they are accepted as the most cogent presentation of news and preferred and believed above newspapers by most people.
