How does the papers and TV news stay in business

Advertising is how they stay in business. They sell commercial time that is used to separate segments of the TV shows and companies buy what is called “air time”. With newspapers, they also sell advertisements but it is put on paper....a lot of stores advertise their Sales days and things like that. It is EXTREMELY lucrative. For example, Modern Family makes 483 million dollars a year for ABC and it only costs 1.5 million to make each episode. Advertising is BIG BUSINESS!!!!!!
