When Newsy was created about 10 years ago, there wasn\u2019t anywhere near the amount of content that exists today and calls itself \u201cnews.\u201d Despite the crowded field, Newsy is launching<\/a> a live, two-hour nightly news show this summer.<\/p>\n With its close ties to the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri\u2014close as in located across the street\u2014Newsy wants to look past the headlines of the day with in-depth, contextual storytelling.<\/p>\n The Why is intended to be \u201ca celebration of in-depth storytelling,\u201d Newsy VP of News Christina Hartman says in this interview with Beet.TV at the Digital Content NewFronts<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we started a decade ago, we were primarily focused on news of the day. The headlines, the quick-turn video content,\u201d Hartman says.<\/p>\n Since then, it\u2019s bulked up its resources for original reporting on science and technology, policy and culture.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing right across the street from the School of Journalism<\/a> has for us been fantastic to both teach the newsy method and infuse that with the Missouri method, which is hands-on journalism,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n The Why seeks to look beyond headlines and communicate \u201cwhat is it the viewer is going to ask themselves when they hear the who, what, when, where why. Very little happens in a vacuum.\u201d<\/p>\n
