With the addition of Bloomberg Television yesterday, the TV Visual Explorer now spansĀ 24 channels from 7 countries in 4 languages, making the majority of the active channels in the Internet Archive's Television News Archive skimmable by journalists and scholars! Most channels extend back to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic to chart how the pandemic story was told through television news, while a few channels extend more than a decade back to 2009 or 2010, capturing the nation's biggest stories of the past decade and updated with a rolling 12-24 hour delay.
We are immensely excited about the fundamentally new kinds of research this collection will enable and would love you hear from you about suggestions and research questions you would like to explore!
