After watching the video "Feeding the Beast", I think the Beast would be considered the general public and the audience that watches the news show or reads the newspaper. The Beast needs to be fed because the public deserves the truth about information and stories happening locally which might directly affect them and stories happening internationally. All stories, no matter how closely linked they are to the public should be told in an accurate and timely manner so information and people are not misrepresented.
A compromise that can occur is the accuracy and truth of a story. In the 24-hour news cycle, there are constant deadlines which push reporters and journalists to find interesting stories and fight for a spot on the front page or be a top headline in that night's broadcast. Because stories are constantly happening and evolving, the real, truthful information might be challenging to keep up with and unfortunatley, the reporters might not be able to keep up.
