People said the same thing about newspapers when the news became more popular on television networks. But who could blame them when many people are going on news websites and even social media networks, such as Facebook and Instagram, to find out about current events? But maybe those people might not be completely right. After all, many people still go on news channels, especially when election season or breaking news comes along. Plus, many people still watch the Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Parade, the Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting, or the Macy&#8217;s Independence Day Fireworks on live television if they can&#8217;t make it to New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there is something special about viewing the news on television. Any person can read or recite the news. But it takes a talented journalist to evoke the news in a way that you would still take time out of your day to watch it on television. These reporters do just that, so many people tune in to see their <a href=\"https:\/\/mommyish.com\/90s-tv-loved-hated-characters\/\">shows on television<\/a> from early in the morning to very late at night. As a result, they get paid very well for informing and entertaining people nationwide.
