BOSTON, Mass.—Media researchers at Northeastern University, three local TV stations and the Stanton Foundation have announced that they are working on a Streaming Video News Research Project that will experiment with new ways to reach diverse audiences with a focus on OTT (over-the-top) streaming news content delivered on demand and on digital devices.
The three local TV news stations are WCVB-TV/Boston, WCBS-TV/New York, and WLS-TV/Chicago. As part of the project, which is being funded by a $1 million grant from the Stanton Foundation, researchers hope to strengthen communities with high-quality journalism that meets the needs of the modern news consumer.
