Abstract

One of the reasons for the transformation of media systems is the increase in information made possible by the development of new technologies and the Internet. In this context, the habits of media consumption change, the journalistic content changes too. The main purpose of the article is to identify changes in the form of television news over the past 30 years. This paper applies the content analysis to study 1608 video news of the Czech TV in three periods — 1989, 2005, and 2021. Firstly, over the years the average time of the TV news and the number of film frames in one news story has increased. On the other hand, the average duration of the frame has decreased. Besides, over the years, the number of lead paragraphs increases, which to some extent indicates the increase in PR­component in broadcast news. Secondly, despite the increasing trend of using smartphones for news consumption, there was no significant increase in the use of close­up shots by 2021. Thirdly, there is an increase not only in the number of frames and the average duration of video news, but also in the use of such a method of shooting as a panorama, which also creates movement and adds dynamics.
