A Live news feed is a real-time stream of updates about breaking news stories. These can be clicked on by visitors to your website and are a great way to keep clients, staff and visitors up to date about industry breaking news and events. They can also boost engagement and create a sense of urgency around ongoing issues that may impact your business.
A live broadcasting generally refers to various types of media that are broadcasting without a significant delay. Some examples of this are live television and radio broadcastings. The term is also used to describe the output of a digital camera when recording.
The news feed is a core feature of social media platforms such as Facebook, which displays content from the people and pages that the user follows as well as third party ads. This content is picked by algorithms that study extensive data on the users social connections, browsing history and previous interactions in order to regulate what content will be displayed when. Newsfeeds tend to filter out spamming posts, repetitive content and content that asks for the purchase of products or services. They also tend to favor quality content (such as videos), posts from pages with which the user frequently interacts and post types most relevant for the majority of users (news articles).
Many twenty-four hour news channels provide both a standard television broadcast version of their news and a separate live video streaming news service. For example, Australia’s ABC Television Network offers a livestream of its news via its website and on YouTube.
