It's something other than COVID at least.

Super storm sandy comes to mind

9/11 is absolutely responsible for the scrolling bottom ticker and the constant need for “BREAKING NEWS” banners after every commercial break. It was the birth of the true 24/7 news cycle.
Oh I know. I just wanted to post that gif. Been nostalgic about my hometown lately.

With so many platforms to try and increase clicks and views the media has to push stories that previously would only get minimal coverage. Outlets to have full digits content. They have to get eyes on their content regardless the issue now days.

Storms don't usually make it that far north on the east coast. Sandy was a Cat 1 and it was treated as worse than Katrina and Gustav

What huge news presence? I read about it here on the interweb. I have a TV but I only watch stuff that entertains. Information comes from the web and I am selective.

Actually NC is hit more often by a hurricane than La. is.
Top ten states:
1. Florida: 120 hurricanes (37 were Category 3 through Category 5)
2. Texas 64 hurricanes (19 were Category 3 through Category 5)
3. North Carolina: 55 hurricanes (7 were Category 3 through Category 5)
4. Louisiana: 54 hurricanes (17 were Category 3 through Category 5)
5. South Carolina: 30 hurricanes (5 were Category 3 through Category 5)
6. Alabama 24 hurricanes (5 were Category 3 through Category 5)
7. Georgia 22 hurricanes (3 were Category 3 through Category 5)
8. Mississippi 19 hurricanes (8 were Category 3 through Category 5)
9. New York: 15 hurricanes (3 were Category 3 through Category 5)
10. Massachusetts 12 hurricanes (1 was a Category 3)

I guess the media will play up the global warming narrative before the election? People don’t believe their Covid and George Floyd coverage anymore.
It IS a tropical storm. Which is itself newsworthy.

Because the precious east coast is in the cross hairs this is important. virtually zero national coverage of Hanna because it was the Rio Grand valley.

The media makes it a big deal when the mid Atlantic gets hit because it’s relatively rare.
Ding. Ding. The gulf coast used to storms. East coat above South Carolina isn’t. They have a lot of media attention if it threatens NFC East teams.

If it involves the northeast. It gets way more coverage.

They always overhype east coast storms because most media HQs are located there.
They don’t care about Louisiana or Mississippi

Cause the East Coast. They only truly give a shite/overreact about the weather if it’s gonna hit NY/NJ or close. See Superstorm Sandy. Damn thing was barely a Tropical Storm and they acted like it was a Cat 5 Hurricane surrounded by 3 Cat 3’s.

It’s called the weather channel and the population on the east coast is just unreal.

I think it has more to do with the improvement of technology. But for news stations, this just allows them to put out more content.

legacy media is a dying institution.
sensationalism is their flailing attempt to stay relevant.
stop giving them click and let them die in a pasture by themselves.
