DESCRIPTOkS *Information Services; *Telephone Coimiunications/ Systems; *Television; Video Equipme; ;,*Videotex IDENTIFIERS *Station Kgr.. TV UT; *Two Way Televi ion ABSTRACT Under an experimental license issu din 1978, KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah, provided 126pages of tel text information to its viewers. In choosing thissystem, the stati n had to decide between it and a videotext system. Althoughvideotext systems permit two-way communication, usuallyover telephone UT, teletext broadcast technology is much cheaper.The Cost fo a decoder, a critical factor in the consumer's'accoptance of e ther system, is ,expected to decline for both technologies.In tel text, access cost is zero, while in videotext theinformation provi er has the option of charging users. It'is possiblethat videotext' interactive capability and superior graphics willincrease rt penetration into paying households. Although teletextand videotext provide similar mass market services, videotext has substantiallymore flexibility and speed. Since systems currently beingused in different countries are incompatible, establishing,technical standards inthe areas of data format, transmission,a d display is of key importance. Current trends and the growing home co1iptermarket favor the growth of videotext, but KSL-TV's experiment howed the value of teletextas an interim information system. -

The Media Environment of The'90s: a Period of Danger for Newspaper
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 270 798 CS 209 881 AUTHOR McManus, John TITLE The Media Environment of the '90s: A Period of Danger for Newspaper Journalism? PUB DATE Aug 86 NOTE 35p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (69th, Norman, OK, August 3-6, 1986). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) -- Viewpoints (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Advertising; Broadcast Reception Equipment; Cable Television; Communication Research; *Futures (of Society); *Information Networks; Journalism; Media Research; *News Media; *Newspapers; Television Research; Video Equipment; *Videotex ABSTRACT The news media of the 1990s will probably not use videotext systems or three-dimensional holograms to replace the newspaper. Instead, simpler combinations of news media that mimic the characteristics of print may replace advertising in newspapers, causing them to downgrade journalism or increase subscription cost, thereby decreasing circulation and social impact. The danger to journalism is based on five propositions: (1) teletext can mimic the interactivity of two-way videotext at a fraction of the cost; (2) by the mid-1990s, teletext will offer advertisers a print-like medium at a cost far below that of newspapers; (3) retailers are learning that many kinds of advertising need not appear between news columns to be read by consumers; (4) the marriage of interests between readers and advertisers will dissolve; (5) faced with a loss of advertising revenues, newspapers will either reduce the quality of journalism or maintain service only at high subscription rates for those whocan afford it. Society will be affected adversely because the kind of news that exposes the problems in society and gives voice to those aggrieved is expensive journalism, the existence of which is threatened by these impending changes. -
