1. The "beast" is the news cycle. By deciding what stories you will run you are deciding what will dominate the news and what the general public will see.
2. The news outlet such as a tv production or newspaper needs to feed the news cycle so that audience remains sastisfied. If one news source is not providing juicy and captivating stories than the audience will in fact change where they get their news.
3. The news can be compromised when operating in the 24-hour news cycle. There is a quick turn around so the reporter may not have the time to get adequate sources. Also the story may not be completely developed, as in the case of the two dead babies. Authorities still did not have all the details and the journalist was trying to form a story because news source wanted to be the first to break the news.
