NBC News NOW is the newest addition to the news cycle. Have Americans grown tired of the negative & angry, 24/7 news cycle? NBC thinks so.

The NBC News NOW focus is not ‘click-bait’ sensational headlines; instead, it believes people need a news atmosphere designed not to leave them angry and divided. Unlike some competitive news outlet websites set up in a tabloid, sensationalized way to capitalize on the discourse, one visit to the NBC News NOW page and the differences are noticeable. The news layout is straightforward, and people can get the information they want without the alarm bells.

There’s no secret to NBC’s news approach; it’s by design. NBC News president Noah Oppenheim told Poynter in a January 2022 interview, “NBC News’ mission is to hold the middle ground and be objective and nonpartisan.”

This objective approach to news and journalism is music to the ears of Darren Campo, Adjunct Professor at NYU Stern School of Business.

Darren’s Thoughts

“It’s all about a pleasant environment, this is a great product that puts the viewer first and creates an upbeat environment that doesn’t drain the viewer like a lot of other news streams. Think of the relationship that NBC has in all of the areas that we call news, whether it’s with the Today Show, which covers pop culture, hard news on the nightly news politics with Meet the Press, breaking news on MSNBC, and Business News on CNBC. And all of this is being supported by local news operations in the affiliate news operations. The big lesson is that NBC News being ubiquitous in all forms of linear is able to bring the best of those resources to streaming. But I also think one of the big lessons is that NBC News now knows that although it’s in the news business, it’s also in the mood-raising business, not the anger and outrage-building business.

So it creates a very pleasantly consistent experience from both talent and editorial that works really well for the viewers and for revenues. It’s terrific because it creates a premium environment for advertisers and a news product.”
