Etymology
The term 'newscast' originated in the early 20th century as the broadcast industry began to develop. It is a blend of 'news' and 'broadcast,' reflecting the integration of news reporting with radio and television technology. Initially, news was delivered via print and later transitioned to live broadcasts. The first radio news broadcast occurred in 1920, setting the foundation for what would become the newscast as we know it today. Over the decades, as broadcasting technology advanced, newscasts became more prevalent and sophisticated, culminating in the multimodal news delivery we experience today through various channels, including internet streaming.
