While the sector has shrunk as a part of overall U.S. employment, the television broadcasting sector has actually grown. In this research, we tap into a rich but rarely used source of employment data, the U.S. Bureau of Labor database. Applying fundamentals of media economics research, and through the lens of theories of Economies of Scale and Diffusion of Innovation theories, we explore what is behind this unusual and unexpected growth. Results show salary within the television broadcasting sector grow along with the increase in television broadcasting employment, government deregulation led to structural changes and consumer demand and technological advances have led to innovation within the sector. Practical and academic implications are discussed.

From a historical perspective the book examines the issues and forces that shaped the industry, during the formative years of the online era through to today's wireless-based marketplace, taking into account how consumers embraced interactivity and the ensuing emergence of user-generated content. Numerous examples critically detail how newspaper companies viewed online media forms, how they deployed them, and for what purpose. "The Decline of the Daily Newspaper" provides insight into how the decisions made in the early years of the online era have influenced the industry's current economic condition.
