Fox Article Posting

"Fox Primary: Complicated, Contractual"

Looking through the perspective of Fox, they have a great deal laid out for them. They have the information at the tip of their fingers, of course with the cost of having them on payroll for being in contract with them. Is that high price worth to pay? In the competitive world, it most certainly is! They are the first to broadcast direct information from these influential faces who constantly come out with new ideas, headlines, and movements to change the country we live in. I'm sure they make up for all their expenses through the hours people spend watching their news and following their stories day in and day out. Journalist that work for Fox greatly benefit because they have easy access to get information from candidates as they also belong to the company, they get easy entry to any event, and nonetheless must get paid well for working for such a influential and successful company. As long as they are doing their job, Fox continues to broadcast great stories, keeping the CEO, Board of Directors, and News Producers happy. 

But what about every other news broadcast out there? CNN, MBC, NBC, ABC, etc. are all still valid news  stations that don't have the right to a scoop of the story because of contract these people hold with Fox. Journalist aren't able to do publish precise articles because of the lack of resources on these stories. And to have to even ask Fox for permission to do their work is pure degrading towards the company, making them inferior and look "less qualified" than Fox. 

As for the Candidates, I believe their main focus is simply being heard. They care more for the public and their response, the stories being exposed, and the time frame, than WHERE they are being seen. To be in a secure contract with a company that will expose them give them the security that they will be seen and heard. This doesn't make it fair to all other companies, but unfortunately other companies just might now afford to hold on to such high figures. 

But to conclude, Fox doesn't feel a threat to as many voices stand against what they are doing because at the end, they have no competition and they are the one's making the money. I do believe other companies should fight for the equal rights that pertain to ALL as news broadcasters.
