Brief history

With the history, a whole set of myths…
![Page 8: Just the Facts on New Media](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816727550346895ddbbd76/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
MythViewing Internet video or mobile video usage cannibalizes TV viewing levelsIn fact: TV is at its highest recorded levels. Viewing video on mobile devices and PCs is adding minutes to the current TV viewing.
Takeaway: For most stations, online viewing should be viewed as a supplement to on-air.

MythWeb sites have larger cumes than TV stations.In fact: TV station Web sites reach smaller audiences than broadcast cumes. Even Facebook (125 mm/mo in U. S.) is far below the reach of TV at 292 mm each week.
Takeaway: Developing a strong online presence for Public Media rests on promotion to our larger TV and radio audience.

MythWith the surge in the use of online video, the web is rivaling traditional TV for attention. In fact: In Feb. ‘10, people (U. S.) watched 28.1 billion online videos with average length of 4.1 mins. Using that standard, people watched 589.0 billion units of broadcast TV.
Takeaway: In the foreseeable future, our dominant service will continue to be broadcast.

Public Radio Online Much like PTV…
Public Radio Websites have relatively small reach compared with broadcast
Public Radio Web Managers are still sorting out “what works” from “what doesn’t”
GMs/CEOs are reluctanct to make major investments in advance of identified ROI
![Page 21: Just the Facts on New Media](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816727550346895ddbbd76/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Public Radio Online In contrast to PTV…
Stations gained some traction with streaming—by far the most used feature.
Online pledge has been strong and growing—but few credit that success to online service.
Emerging consensus around the value and opportunity of online news… intensified by the success of wbur.org

Lessons to be Drawn from WBUR
ALIGN ON-AIR AND ONLINE CONTENT The redesign gave the vast majority of homepage
area to NEWS. Before the redesign, wbur.org provided very limited
access to NPR content.
After 10 months, half of the news page-views at WBUR are coming from NPR stories.
![Page 30: Just the Facts on New Media](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013012/56816727550346895ddbbd76/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lessons to be Drawn from WBUR
IDENTIFY AND MEET AUDIENCE NEEDS Provide the right content mix:
Prior to the Apr. 2009 wbur.org offered LOCAL news. Now, WBUR.org offers both NATIONAL and local news.
Provide news the way people want news online: Prior to the Apr. 2009 wbur.org offered news in AUDIO. Now, all wbur.org news stories are provided in TEXT.

Lessons to be Drawn from WBUR
LOOK FOR A GOOD FIT TO THE MEDIUM Fits daily uses patterns:
“Gathering News” is the second most common online activity.
Fits the way people use the web: News stories and headlines are strong magnets for search.
Fitting the way people want their news: Reaching audience through live streaming, site-visits (reading)
and on-demand (archiving/podcasting).

Now a word from programmers…
Where should we be going on the web?
